Knicks’ Donte DiVincenzo still not satisfied after 35-point Game 3 outburst
NY Post
INDIANAPOLIS — Knowing that Jalen Brunson was at less than full strength, Donte DiVincenzo went off for the most points he’s ever scored in an NBA playoff game Friday night.
Still, DiVincenzo wasn’t reveling in his career postseason-high 35 points after the Knicks’ fell short in their Game 3 loss to the Pacers.
“We took an L. That’s how I viewed it. It doesn’t mean anything,” DiVincenzo said. “Going into the next game, I’ve gotta be better in other categories. And that’s what I’m gonna watch.”
The banged-up Knicks had a day off ahead of Game 4 on Sunday, and that probably was a good thing with Brunson playing through a sore foot in Game 3.
DiVincenzo, who only has missed one game all season, also appeared to be moving gingerly after Friday’s game.
“Nah, I landed on my back. I’m fine,” said DiVincenzo, who played 44 minutes for the third straight game in the series. “Just a little in the moment, got back up.”
