KAT Joined the Crew for Postgame After the Knicks Forced Game 6 🤝🔥 | NBA on TNT

>> THERE WILL BE A GAME SIX BACK IN INDIANAPOLIS. BECAUSE THE PACERS WITH A CHANCE TO CLOSE THIS ONE OUT WERE NO MATCH FOR JALEN BRUNSON. AND THE NEW YORK KNICKS TONIGHT. WE HAD FOUR GAMES DECIDED BY A TOTAL OF 23 POINTS. THIS 117 AS THE KNICKS WIN IT 111 TO 94. INSIDE THE NBA LIVES ON AT LEAST FOR ONE MORE GAME, POSSIBLY TWO. YOU NEVER KNOW, ZACH. >> YOU DON’T HAVE TO SAY ANOTHER SPEECH. >> YEAH. >> NO, THEY GOT THE MESSAGE. THEY GOT THE MESSAGE. >> IF THEY DIDN’T, THEY WEREN’T LISTENING. >> YES, INDEED. >> WELCOME BACK. LIVE TO MADISON SQUARE GARDEN FOR INSIDE THE NBA, PRESENTED BY KIA. ERNIE JOHNSON, SHAQUILLE O’NEAL, KENNY THE JET SMITH AND CHARLES BARKLEY. THIS WAS. >> A BEATDOWN. >> CONVINCING. >> YEAH. THAT WAS THE KNICKS CAME OUT WITH GREAT ENERGY. I THOUGHT COACH TIBBS MADE A GREAT ADJUSTMENT WITH JALEN OFF THE BALL. WHEN THEY SPLIT THE GARDEN. BUT ALSO THE KNICKS ROLE PLAYERS WERE SO AGGRESSIVE WHEN JALEN WENT TO THE BENCH. THAT’S WHEN THEY BUILT A BIG LEAD. THEY’VE GOT TO BE AGGRESSIVE WHEN HE’S OUT THERE. BUT BUT EVERY TIME THE PACERS MADE A MR. BRUNSON CAME UP MAN. HE WAS SPECTACULAR TONIGHT. YOU KNOW THEY PLAYED WITH GREAT DESPERATION. EVERYBODY’S PREACHING THE SAME THING. JUST WIN THIS GAME TONIGHT. THEY DID THAT. NOW ERNIE LIKE YOU SAID WE MOVE ON TO A GAME SIX. >> YES WE DO. >> YOU KNOW WHAT I USED TO SAY THIS, ERNIE? I DON’T EVEN REMEMBER. THE SERIES DOESN’T START UNTIL A TEAM IS FACED WITH ELIMINATION. >> YES, YOU DID USED TO SAY THAT. >> BUT IN THE RECENT PLAYOFFS, THAT WASN’T THE CASE. TONIGHT IS THE CASE BECAUSE NOW IT’S THREE TWO. YOU’RE GOING BACK TO INDIANA. A TEAM WAS FACED WITH ELIMINATION. THEY MET THE CHALLENGE. AND IF THEY GO TO INDIANA, WELL, AND THEY THIS GAME IN INDIANA, EVERYBODY SAYS SERIES DON’T START UNTIL YOU LOSE A HOME GAME. THAT’S WHAT MOST PEOPLE SAY. HE SAYS THAT OTHER THING. BUT THE PACERS STILL IN CONTROL. BUT I WILL SAY THIS. SAY IT, SAY IT, SAY IT. >> THEY DON’T WIN GAME SIX. >> THEY GOING TO HAVE TO COME BACK TO NEW YORK. IT IS A MUST WIN FOR THE PACERS BECAUSE IF THEY COME HERE THEY’RE GOING TO GET ANOTHER KICKING LIKE THEY DID TONIGHT. I WILL SAY THIS TYRESE HALIBURTON AND MYLES CANNOT HAVE SINGLE GAME SINGLE SINGLE DIGIT GAMES. BUT ERNIE THE PACERS THE WHOLE THING THE PACE THE PACE THEY GOT TO STEP UP. WE CAN DO ALL THIS STRATEGY AND ALL THIS OTHER STUFF. WE TALK ABOUT. THE INDIANA PACERS CAN’T PLAY SLOW. AND IT WAS REALLY EVIDENT TONIGHT. >> IS HEY T.K, TELL ME, DO WE HAVE A HIGHLIGHT OF THIS GAME? WELL, NOW WOULD BE A GREAT TIME TO LOOK AT IT. >> WELL WE CAN FIND SOME PACER HIGHLIGHTS. IT’LL BE A MIRACLE. >> SO TYRESE HALIBURTON, PACERS TRYING TO CLOSE OUT JALEN BRUNSON AND THE KNICKS WHO GOT OFF TO A HOT START. >> HE CAME OUT AGGRESSIVE. HE SAID I AM NOT GOING HOME. I DON’T WANT TO START DOING YARD WORK AND STUFF. I’M GOING TO BE AWAY FROM THE HOUSE. >> HOW MUCH YARD WORK DO YOU RECKON HE DOES? >> OH, YOU KNOW, YOU GOT TO CUT YOUR OWN GRASS, ERNIE. YOU CAN’T PAY PEOPLE TO DO THAT. BUT I’M GOING TO TELL YOU THIS. >> WAS NOT AWARE OF THAT FACT. >> I’M TELLING YOU, BROTHER, RICH PEOPLE PAY THAT JOHNNY MAY DOES NOT LET YOU. YOU HAVE TO CUT GRASS, EVEN IF YOU’RE. CHARLES BARKLEY IS ON FIRE RIGHT NOW. >> I’D LIKE TO SEE YOU CUTTING GRASS. >> BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THE CRAZY THING ABOUT THESE HIGHLIGHTS? WE’RE GOING TO WATCH THE KNICKS SCORE. LOOK AT THAT, MAN. BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS AFTER THE BASKET, THEY DID A GREAT JOB OF DENYING THE EARLY OUTLET PASS TO HALIBURTON TO CREATE A FASTER PACED GAME. AND THE GOOD THING COLLIN KYLE REALIZED HE WAS TALL AND JUST STOPPED SHOOTING THREES AS HE TOOK THE BALL TO THE BASKET. NOT ONLY THAT, THEY PLAYED WITH A GREAT, GREAT AGGRESSION AND ALSO GREAT ENERGY. >> WELL, IF YOU’RE SAYING HEY, WHO WAS I TO HIT THAT THREE? IT’S JARRETT WALKER GETTING HIS FIRST TASTE OF THIS SERIES. >> BUT ERNIE WHEN KARL-ANTHONY TOWNS PLAYS WITH FORCE, WHICH HE HAS IN THE SERIES, HE REALLY HAS THE SERIES, BUT, WELL, ALL THE TIME. ALL THE TIME. HE GOT TO DO IT ALL THE TIME. THEY CAN’T STOP HIM EVERY GAME. EVERY TIME HE SHOOTS A THREE, HE LETS THEM OFF THE HOOK. MAN, THIS GUY RIGHT HERE. OH! BULLY BALL! GET OFF ME, LITTLE MAN. HE SAID GET THAT BIG MAN OFF ME! >> 32 ON THE NIGHT FOR JALEN BRUNSON ON 12 OUT OF 18 SHOOTING AND FOUR OUT OF SEVEN FROM DEEP. HIS 10TH 30 POINT GAME OF THIS POSTSEASON AND HIS FOURTH OF THIS SERIES IN FIVE GAMES. >> EVERYBODY ON THE KNICKS JUST PLAYED WELL. THEY SAID YOU KNOW WHAT, WE’RE GOING TO WIN THIS GAME FOR THE HOME CROWD AND WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE THIS SERIES. >> BRUNSON AGAIN. >> MAN, EVERY TIME THEY MADE A RUN HE HIT A BIG BASKET. BUT AGAIN THEY DID A GREAT JOB. AND HERE’S ARTUR COMING IN AND GETTING HIM A BUCKET. BUT THEY JUST DID A GREAT JOB OF WHAT I CALL CHOKING THE OUTLET PASS. DO NOT LET HIM GET IN TRANSITION. DO NOT LET HIM COME OFF THE RUN. DO NOT LET HIM BE A WIDE RECEIVER, SO TO SPEAK. CATCHING THE BALL AND THEN MOVEMENT. DON’T THROW. LET THEM HAVE A FIVE YARD PASS ON THE MOVE. HE HAS TO CATCH IT. STOP AND THEN GO. AND THE KNICKS DID A GREAT JOB. CAT TAKING IT STRONG TO THE RIM. >> HIGH PERCENTAGE SHOTS. >> 24 AND 13 FOR KARL ANTHONY TOWNS WHO WAS QUESTIONABLE COMING INTO THIS ONE BECAUSE OF THE LEFT KNEE. >> BEN STILLER. >> OH BEN STILLER YEAH. >> GET PAST 6′ FIRST. YEAH. YOU GOT TO GET THE 6′ TO GET. >> THE SEVEN. IF YOU’RE GOING TO WIN THE SERIES, IT’S GOING TO HAVE TO BE IN SEVEN. >> LET’S GET THROUGH SIX BEFORE WE WORRY ABOUT SEVEN. >> YEAH. 111 TO 94. THE KNICKS WIN IT. HERE’S TIBBS. >> THE JOB YOU GUYS. >> DID ON HALIBURTON TONIGHT HOLDING THEM TO THE POINTS. >> YEAH. >> YOU KNOW. >> SOMETIMES YOU KNOW IT’S. >> PROBABLY A COMBINATION OF. HIM MISSING SOME SHOTS. >> HE NORMALLY MAKES. >> BUT I. >> THOUGHT. >> OUR GUYS WERE TIED TOGETHER AND. >> TRYING TO MAKE HIM WORK FOR EVERYTHING. AND YOU KNOW THAT’S WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO. WE HAVE TO FIGHT TO WIN EVERY POSSESSION. >> HOW MUCH DOES WORKING ON THE OFFENSIVE. >> END OF. >> THE FLOOR. >> PLAY INTO THAT MAKING HIM WORK? IT SEEMED LIKE YOU GUYS WERE MORE INTENTIONAL ABOUT TRYING TO GET HIM INTO ACTION TONIGHT. >> NO, IT’S BASICALLY. THE SAME. BUT SOMETIMES YOU HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO ATTACK DIFFERENT WAYS. BUT THERE WASN’T A BIG CHANGE OFFENSIVELY. >> TOM, HOW MUCH. >> DID KAT. >> SET THE TONE. >> IN THE FIRST HALF? >> I THOUGHT HE WAS VERY AGGRESSIVE. AND I THINK THAT’S SUPER IMPORTANT. I THINK JALEN AS WELL, I THOUGHT THE FIRST QUARTER THAT SET THE TONE FOR THE GAME. WE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE STAY AGGRESSIVE AND WE HAVE TO STAY DISCIPLINED. I THINK STAYING DISCIPLINED AND PLAYING WITH TOUGHNESS IS HUGE. >> YOU. >> IN THE NICK OF TIME AS IS CORRECT. AND SO GAME FIVE A 17 POINT WIN FOR THE NEW YORK KNICKS AND HOLDING THE INDIANA PACERS TO A POSTSEASON LOW OF 94. IT HAD BEEN 100 AND ONLY 41% FIELD GOAL SHOOTING. >> IT’S NICK. IT’S THE NICK. HEAVEN OVER HERE NICK. FAMILY REUNION OH MY GOSH. >> AND LOOK WHO’S SITTING DOWN NEXT TO YOU. >> CHUCKSTER WITH HIS TOES OUT. KARL ANTHONY TOWNS WITH HIS TOES OUT. >> KARL ANTHONY TOWNS. >> I THOUGHT WAS. BETTER THAN YOURS SHAQ. ANY DAY EVERYBODY’S BEEN HIS POINT. YOU KNOW YOU’RE THE ONLY BASKETBALL PLAYER I KNOW. GOT GOOD LOOKING FEET. >> HEY MAN. >> SHOUT OUT TO MY MAMA MAN. >> DAMN 24 POINTS 13 REBOUNDS ON THE NIGHT IN A GAME. YOU ABSOLUTELY HAD TO HAVE KAT. AND YOU HAD TO HAVE IT WITH WITH YOURSELF ON THE ON THE INJURY REPORT WITH THE WITH THE KNEE. HOW DID IT FEEL AS THE NIGHT STARTED. >> IT DON’T MATTER. YOU GOT TO GET THE JOB DONE. >> TELL ME THIS REGULAR SEASON GAME IN FEBRUARY YOU’RE PLAYING ON IT. >> I ALWAYS TRY TO PLAY. I ALWAYS TRY TO PLAY. SO I DON’T KNOW. BUT I’M NOTHING REALLY CAME ACROSS MY MIND THAT I WAS GOING TO MISS THIS GAME. IT’S GAME FIVE. IT’S DO OR DIE. SO DEFINITELY WANT TO SHOW UP. >> WE KNOW YOU’RE A VERSATILE BIG MAN. ALSO KNOW YOU FROM JERSEY. ME, ME AND CHARLES WERE ALWAYS ON YOU ABOUT GOING INSIDE. OUTSIDE, OUTSIDE. WHEN DO YOU MAKE THE DETERMINATION IN THE GAME? I MEAN, BECAUSE, LISTEN, YOU’RE FABULOUS THREE POINT SHOOTER. BUT WHEN YOU MAKE THE DETERMINATION. YOU KNOW WHAT? I’M NOT GOING TO SHOOT THE OUTSIDE JUMPER. I’M GOING INSIDE AND PLAYING WITH FORCE TONIGHT. >> YOU KNOW, IT’S I’M GLAD YOU SAID THAT. I FEEL LIKE IN THIS SERIES I’VE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF SUCCESS GETTING DOWNHILL AND GETTING TO THE RIM. SO I JUST, YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU SAID, I CAN SHOOT THE THREE BALL, BUT I REALLY WANTED TO GET DOWNHILL AND IMPOSE MY WILL EARLY ON INSIDE. AND THEN AS THE GAME PROGRESSED, YOU KNOW, WHEN I GET AN OPEN THREE AND TRAILER, I LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW, MAYBE I’LL TAKE IT, BUT ESPECIALLY IF I’M TRAILING IN AND THE DEFENDER COMES UP, I GOT TO I HAVE THE ABILITY TO DRIVE TO THE BASKET. I’D RATHER UTILIZE THAT PART OF MY GAME. >> CAN WE PUT THAT STAT BACK UP. >> BY THE WAY, WHILE WE WAIT FOR THAT NINE OF NINE OF YOUR TEN BUCKETS IN THE PAINT TONIGHT. >> I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BASKETBALL, BUT I’M PRETTY DAMN SURE IT’S GOOD TO BE ON THAT LIST. I MEAN, THAT IS INCREDIBLE RIGHT THERE TO BE ON THE LIST WITH KOBE AND SHAQUILLE AND JERRY WEST AND ELGIN BAYLOR. MAN, THAT IS IMPRESSIVE. YOU SHOULD MAN THAT. THE ONLY THREE PEOPLE TO DO IT. >> THAT IS CRAZY. >> GOD IS GOOD. >> GOD IS GOOD. SO LISTEN, WHAT WAS Y’ALL. WHAT DID. YOU KNOW, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY NEW YORK IS A UNIQUE PLACE. YEAH. BECAUSE YOU LIVE HERE, MAN. YOU CAN’T WATCH TV. YOU CAN’T DEFINITELY CAN’T LISTEN TO THE RADIO. WHAT WERE YOU GUYS, FIRST OF ALL, ON THE TRIP BACK FROM INDY? YEAH. AND IN THE LAST 48 HOURS, WHAT WERE YOUR PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS? >> YOU KNOW, IT WAS JUST. WHY NOT US? I FEEL THAT WE ALL FELT THAT WE COULD DO THIS. YOU KNOW, WE’VE SHOWN THAT RESILIENCY ALL, ALL YEAR, ESPECIALLY IN THE PLAYOFFS. SO FOR US, IT WAS JUST LIKE, WHY NOT US? WHY NOT GO OUT THERE AND TAKE IT GAME BY GAME OBVIOUSLY. BUT YOU KNOW, LET’S WORRY ABOUT THE NEXT GAME. AND GAME FIVE IS THE NEXT GAME. LET’S GET THAT ONE. THEN LET’S WORRY ABOUT GAME SIX AFTER GAME FIVE AND THEN YOU KNOW, AND THEN WE’LL WORRY ABOUT GAME SEVEN AFTER GAME SIX. BUT YOU KNOW WE GOT TO TAKE IT GAME BY GAME. STAY IN THE PRESENT. >> YOU KNOW YOU LOOK AT THIS CALL YOURSELF. AND JALEN WAS ON THAT LIST WITH THE GREATEST PLAYERS THAT EVER PLAYED THE GAME. BUT TO ME ALSO IT WAS SOME GUYS THAT HAVEN’T GOTTEN ANY SPOTLIGHT THAT REALLY DID THE JOB WHEN THEY COME INTO THE GAME. SHAMET YEAH, RIGHT. >> HOW GREAT HAVE THEY BEEN? >> THEY HAVE, THEY HAVE BEEN. I DON’T KNOW IF, YOU KNOW, PAY ATTENTION TO IT, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN A PLUS. THE ONLY GUYS IN THIS SERIES WHO HAVE A PLUS ARE THE GUYS COMING OFF THE BENCH. WHAT HAS BEEN THEIR MESSAGE WHEN THEY WEREN’T PLAYING? >> YOU KNOW, THE THING ABOUT IT IS LOCKER ROOM HAS A BUNCH OF PROFESSIONALS. EVERYONE’S A PROFESSIONAL IN THERE. YOU KNOW, EVERYONE’S JUST READY FOR THEIR MOMENT. YOU KNOW, YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOUR NAME IS GOING TO BE CALLED. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN TIBBS GOING TO LOOK AT YOU AND SAY, GO, GO IN. SO WE ALL THOSE GUYS ARE JUST THEY JUST PROFESSIONALS. THEY WORK HARD EVERY SINGLE DAY AND THEY’RE READY WHEN THEIR NAME IS CALLED. >> UNDERDOG. JUST TOLD ME I WANT TO. >> UNDERDOG IS OUR STAT GUY, BY THE WAY. >> EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT. >> ERNIE OKAY. >> 26 POINTS. WERE Y’ALL PLAYOFF HIGH OFF THE BENCH. YEAH I MEAN WHEN HE ACTUALLY PLAYS Y’ALL BENCH THEY’RE PRETTY DAMN GOOD. >> I THINK EVERYONE IN THAT LOCKER ROOM IS GOOD. SO LIKE I SAID THEY’RE JUST READY WHEN THEIR NAME IS CALLED. >> HEY CAT HALLIBURTON COMING OFF THIS HISTORIC TRIPLE DOUBLE THE OTHER NIGHT. SO WHEN YOU TALKED ABOUT HOW ARE WE GOING TO TRY TO NEGATE THIS GUY BECAUSE HE’S BEEN THEIR ENGINE, WHAT WAS THE PLAN GOING IN TONIGHT? >> JUST JUST MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR HIM. I THOUGHT WE DID A BETTER JOB TODAY OF MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR HIM TO GET THOSE OPEN LOOKS AND TO GET GOING. AND AS YOU SEE RIGHT NOW ON THE SCREEN, WE’RE JUST DOING A GREAT JOB OF APPLYING PRESSURE AND MAKING SURE THAT EVERY TIME HE’S LOOKING TO SCORE, YOU KNOW, HE’S SEEING BODIES, HE’S SEEING PEOPLE. WE’RE NOT ALLOWING HIM TO HAVE SPACE TO, YOU KNOW, UTILIZE HIS TALENT. MCHALE DOES A GREAT JOB RIGHT THERE. SO JUST A GREAT JOB TONIGHT OF EXECUTING THE GAME PLAN. >> SO ARE YOU GOING BACK TO INDIANA? OF COURSE THEY’RE GOING TO TRY TO PUSH THE PACE. OF COURSE THEY’RE GOING TO TRY TO MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS. HOW ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO SLOW THEM DOWN. AND WHAT’S THE GAME PLAN AND WHAT’S THE MESSAGE? >> I MEAN, FIRST OFF, REGARDLESS OF THEM CHANGING A GAME PLAN, US CHANGING OUR GAME PLAN AND OBVIOUSLY DOING DIFFERENT THINGS, IT HAS TO START OFF WITH THAT DESPERATION THAT WE STARTED WITH TONIGHT. I THOUGHT THAT WE DID A GREAT JOB COMING OUT THE GATES OFF THE JUMP BALL ZERO ZERO AND APPLYING PRESSURE AND HAVING THAT ENERGY THAT’S NEEDED, ESPECIALLY IN A DO OR DIE GAME. SO THAT’S A THAT’S A SHOUT OUT TO US. WE GOT TO START WITH THAT AND THEN WE’LL WORRY ABOUT THE GAME PLAN ADJUSTMENTS LATER. >> WELL I GOT TO SAY SOMETHING. I GOT TO CRITICIZE YOU MAN. WHAT ARE YOU GETTING THEM DUMB FOULS? I WAS GOING TO ASK THE SAME QUESTION. WHY DO YOU WHY DO YOU DO THAT? >> GOD ONLY KNOWS. >> I MEAN, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THEY WHEN YOU GOT YOUR FOURTH FOUL, THEY TOOK YOU OUT. THEY MADE A RUN. YEAH. YOU GOT TO STOP. >> I GOT, I GOT A. >> I GOT TO DO A MUCH BETTER JOB. YES. I GOT TO DO MY JOB. YOU CAN GET FOULS. BUT A COUPLE LIKE THE OTHER DAY WHEN YOU JUST GRABBED SOMEBODY BY THE WRIST. >> OH. OH YEAH. YEAH YEAH YEAH. OKAY. ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT LAST GAME OR. >> THIS GAME? LAST GAME. EVERY GAME. >> OH, YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT THE ONE WITH. >> THE PICK AND ROLL. YEAH. YOU JUST GRABBED HIS. YEAH YEAH YEAH. BUT YOU CAN’T BE GETTING THOSE. >> NO I CAN’T, I CAN’T. YOU AIN’T WRONG. YOU AIN’T WRONG I GOT A HURTS OUR TEAM. BUT AGAIN I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THE BENCH AND THE GUYS YOU KNOW EVERYONE WHO COMES IN AND THEY THEY THEY HOLD IT DOWN. EVEN WHEN I’M MAKING THESE MISTAKES. I GOT TO FIX THAT, THOUGH. >> OKAY. >> 2024 AND 13 TONIGHT. NEW YORK STAYS ALIVE. YEAH. WE WILL SEE YOU IN INDIANAPOLIS. INDY 6′. >> CONGRATULATIONS. >> YES, SIR. >> APPRECIATE Y’ALL. >> APPRECIATE Y’ALL. YES, SIR. >> KARL ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE YOU. >> JERSEY BABY. >> CHUCK CUTTING HIS LAWN. >> MY GRANDMOTHER MADE ME CUT IT. I USED TO BE. I WAS USED TO, MAN. I THREATENED TO FIRE. >> I USED TO DO THAT ALL THE TIME, TOO. >> YEAH. YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU POOR. >> SIR, YOU SAYING YOU STILL CUT YOUR GRASS? >> NO NO NO NO NO. I GOT NOBODY WHO’S RICH. OH MY GOD, LOOK AT THIS, CHUCK. LOOK AT THIS CHUMP. LISTEN, MAN, THIS GOING TO BE ON FIRE TONIGHT. HEY, THIS TRUCK IS A COMPOUND. I HAVE A COMPOUND NOW. I USED TO HAVE
