After Action Report
In a track meet, the Knicks squeaked past the Pacers 116-112. Knicks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
