Knicks coach Mike Brown is applying strategies from his time with the Warriors to exploit James Harden’s weaknesses in the Eastern Conference finals. After a dramatic 115-104 overtime victory against the Cavaliers, Brown revealed that he focused on wearing down Harden by pressuring him throughout the game, a tactic that proved effective as Harden struggled with 15 points on 5-of-16 shooting. This approach mirrors Brown’s successful methods against Harden during his tenure with Golden State, where the Warriors consistently limited Harden’s effectiveness in crucial moments. By making Harden exert more effort, the Knicks aim to turn a prolific scorer into a liability, leveraging lessons learned from past matchups.
