“Not at all (have we played our best basketball). Not even close,” Hart said. “I think we’ve had spurts where we’ve played very well and then we’ve had spurts where we’ve played terrible — i.e., that third quarter (in Game 5). “So we have to make sure we find ways to keep good flow and good rhythm all the way throughout the game. That’s playing faster, that’s making them make decisions, and when you make teams make decisions you put them in a position to make mistakes. When you put them in that position then you can counter and make them pay for those mistakes. That’s something that we’ve got to do, we’ve got to play with more pace and make sure we get everybody involved with (Jalen Brunson), (Towns), but also Mikal and OG (Anunoby), go out there and hoop. I think that’s the biggest thing — play with pace throughout the whole game and put them in positions to make mistakes.” -via New York Post / May 1, 2025
