After Action Report
The Knicks buried the Pacers 124-101. Knicks torched the Pacers on the offensive end. The Knicks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
