After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks demolished the Pacers 116-81. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Knicks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it

- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
