T.J. McConnell once made a name for himself in the NBA as 'an enormous annoyance.' That style paid off in a major way Sunday as he helped the Pacers to a massive Game 4 win over the Knicks.
About six or seven years ago, when Rick Carlisle was coaching the Dallas Mavericks, his team faced off against the Philadelphia 76ers. This was back when the Sixers were in the midst of the Process and fielding a roster of no-names with the goal of losing games. Yet on this night, Carlisle's group entered halftime with something like 16 turnovers. And it felt like all of them were forced by one Sixers player — T.J. McConnell.
He pushes the pace and has an incredible ability to knife his way into the paint, forcing opposing defenses into rotation. His impact can be felt the moment he steps on the floor. 'He has an exuberance and an intensity that permeates the game,' Carlisle said last week. The Knicks have had no answer for McConnell all series, just like the Milwaukee Bucks didn't in the first round.
