Miles McBride aims to elevate his performance after a strong outing in his first playoff start for the Knicks in Game 5 against the Pacers. He succeeded in limiting Tyrese Haliburton's impact, while still striving to improve. McBride faces the tough task of defending the elite guard as the Knicks aim to close out the series.
He has shown defensive prowess against other top guards this season, earning the trust of coach Thibodeau. McBride looks to build on his success in Game 5 and continue to disrupt Haliburton in Game 6 to secure the win for the Knicks.
