After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers squeaked past the Knicks 102-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
