After New York overcame a 20-point deficit to beat the Pacers in Game 3, head coach Tom Thibodeau reiterated the fact that no lead is safe in the playoffs.
"I know you guys roll your eyes when I say 'no lead is safe,' but no lead is safe," he said. "Because I think with the three-point shot, people make up ground quickly. Pace of the game, make up ground quickly. So, you see comebacks all the time. If you let up just a little bit, that's what happens. You got to win games different ways. Obviously, you prefer to play from a lead, but whatever it is that you have to do, that's what you have to do to get the win in the end."
