After Action Report
The Pacers survived the Knicks 122-120. The Knicks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pacers steamroller is in full effect right now; Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
