After Action Report

The Pacers snuck past the Knicks 90-88. The Knicks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pacers. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
