After Action Report
In a track meet, the Knicks pulled away from the Pacers 123-105. The tempo dragged the Pacers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
