After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pacers edged the Knicks 116-109. Pacers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
