After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks shocked the Pacers 102-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
