After Action Report
The Pacers handled the Knicks 113-100. The better team simply showed up tonight. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Pacers. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
