Down 2-0 in the Eastern Conference finals, the New York Knicks are contemplating a change to their starting lineup, potentially replacing wing player Josh Hart with backup center Mitchell Robinson for Game 3. This would be the first alteration of the season for the Knicks’ starting five, which includes Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, and Karl-Anthony Towns. The Knicks have struggled defensively in the playoffs, and coach Tom Thibodeau’s decision reflects the team’s need to improve after being outscored significantly in recent games.
