After Action Report
The Knicks snuck past the Pacers 109-104. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. The Pacers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
