After Action Report
The Pacers outlasted the Knicks 134-119. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pacers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Knicks utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
