After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers blew the doors off the Knicks 127-96. Pacers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
