After Action Report
In New York, the Pacers squeaked past the Knicks 118-115. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; second-chance points piled up for the Knicks. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
