"The series isn't over," kata O. G.

Anunoby.

Anunoby menegaskan bahwa timnya harus tetap menekan lawan dan fokus penuh untuk memenangkan pertandingan berikutnya.

"Just keep our foot on their necks and just try to win the game," ujar Anunoby.

Menghadapi laga keempat yang akan kembali berlangsung di Cleveland pada hari Senin, Brunson mengingatkan rekan-rekannya untuk menjaga konsentrasi.

"Just focus on one possession at a time," kata Brunson.

Pendekatan mental tersebut dinilai Brunson menjadi kunci performa apik Knicks dalam beberapa minggu terakhir.

"The way we've been having that mindset these past couple weeks, we have to continue it, if not actually better," ujar Brunson.

Brunson menambahkan bahwa timnya masih memiliki ruang untuk berkembang.

"Our mindset hasn't changed," kata Brunson.

Ia menyoroti pentingnya meminimalkan kesalahan mental dalam pertandingan berikutnya.

"We're trying to get better every single day. We're trying to learn from winning," ujar Brunson.

Evaluasi menyeluruh tetap menjadi fokus utama Knicks.

"There's a lot of things we can get better at.

There's a lot of things we can control, a lot of mental errors that we need to clean up, but we're always just looking for ways to try and get better," kata Brunson.

Di sisi lain, Anunoby mengindikasikan bahwa momentum dari kemenangan sebelumnya turut membantu konsistensi permainan tim.

"I guess you could say momentum carried over (from game one)," kata Anunoby.

Knicks berusaha mempertahankan cara bermain yang benar, baik dalam mengeksekusi strategi penyerangan maupun pertahanan.
