Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau announced a new starting five for Game 3 .

Josh Hart , who has started every game of this postseason run, moved to the bench.

Mitchell Robinson , the Knicks ’ most impactful player through Games 1 and 2 , took his place in the starting five .

The switch gives the Knicks more rim protection and rebounding from the jump.

The Knicks ’ opening five of Brunson , Hart , Bridges , Towns , and Anunoby had been outscored by 50 points across 13 playoff games.

Hart knows the team needs more than just tactical tweaks, they need fire.

“I think we need something drastic in terms of our energy and effort, our competitiveness,” Hart said.
