After Action Report
The Pacers ran roughshod over the Knicks 129-108. The Knicks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pacers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
