To this, the head coach of the KnicksThibodeauThere hasn't been much response to Downs' injury either, "It's a good sign that he's still on the pitch and we'll know how he's doing after he's been assessed." Even though the team is absolutely behind, Downs still believes that the team has the ability to turn things around and go ahead into this series, "We are a team that always looks for ways to achieve the impossible when things seem hopeless. We're going to keep fighting, it's going to be proof of our whole playoffs, and now we're going to have the biggest game of our whole season, if not our whole life, and the comeback will start from the next game. ”
Downs went on to add: "Take it one game at a time and don't think too far ahead. Get the first quarter of the next game right, and then settle the rest slowly. ”
