Knicks Gas Tank Running Empty: Analyst Sees Fatigue as Potential Weakness

New York Knicks Show Signs of Fatigue in Game 3 Loss to Boston Celtics The New York Knicks faced a setback in Game 3 of their playoff series against the Boston Celtics, and ESPN analyst Jay Williams suggests the team may be running on fumes. Williams, appearing on Get Up, observed that the Knicks "have pushed the margin on their gas tank." He pointed to Jalen Brunson's visible exhaustion as a telling sign of the team's physical state. "I feel like they have pushed the margin on their gas tank, and I feel like it's starting to fade out," Williams stated. The observation is supported by the Knicks' performance in the game, where their energy levels appeared to dip noticeably in the later stages. While the Knicks remain a formidable opponent, Williams' assessment highlights a potential vulnerability as the series progresses. The Celtics' ability to exploit this fatigue could be a key factor in determining the outcome of the series. The Knicks will need to find a way to manage their energy more effectively if they hope to turn the tide.
