Aristotle first coined the idiom, former Islanders head coach Barry Trotz reintroduced it to the Big Apple’s sports vernacular when the NHL team was making its two consecutive runs to the Stanley Cup semifinals, and now more than ever, it rings true with the New York Knicks .Translation: Those parts that look different can come together and create something special.
But with their centerpiece struggling, the Knicks’ depth shined and has been the difference in building a healthy first-round advantage — none more evident than after Brunson’s three to make it a two-point game with 27 seconds to go. As they’ve done all season, though, New York’s blue-collar work ethic which embodies the city that adores it so, kept things alive. Flying in between three Philadelphians came Isaiah Hartenstein, the backup center turned invaluable big man when Mitchell Robinson went down with an ankle injury back in December. The same big man who has worked in a committee to dominate the glass in this first-round series while trying to shut down the hobbled Sixers’ star, Joel Embiid.
“He’s a pro’s pro,” Thibodeau said. “He’s a great teammate, too. All these guys are. Everyone wants to play, everyone wants to get their minutes and finish, but you have to sacrifice and put the team first. Some nights, it’s somebody else… and you have to support them.”
