After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks buried the Pacers 137-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
