After Action Report
The Pacers squeaked past the Knicks 129-128. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke; Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
