After Action Report
The Pacers demolished the Knicks 130-101. The Knicks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Knicks. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

- Knicks · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
