After Action Report
The Pacers snuck past the Knicks 120-116. The breakneck pace played right into Pacers' hands. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
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.
