After Action Report

The Knicks edged the Pacers 129-123. The tempo dragged the Pacers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; shots just aren't falling for the Pacers lately. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • 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.
