After Action Report
The Pacers pulled away from the Knicks 138-128. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
