After Action Report
The Pacers outlasted the Knicks 98-79. Ugly basketball, but the Pacers did just enough. The Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
