After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks upended the Pacers 105-104. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep; Pacers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
