Knicks forward R.J. Barrett had a big night during the crucial Game 5 win against the Heat. With the Eastern Conference semifinals set to shift back to Miami for Game 6, Barrett explained the team’s mindset heading into another do-or-die game.
Speaking postgame on MSG, Barrett indicated the team’s series deficit is a challenge, but not insurmountable.
“We’re fighting for our lives,” said Barrett after the win on Wednesday. “This is something that can be done. It’s been done 13 times before.”
