After Action Report
The Pacers survived the Knicks 109-108. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pacers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
