After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers took care of the Knicks 125-106. The Knicks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pacers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
