After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks snuck past the Pacers 126-122. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
