After Action Report
The Knicks shocked the Pacers 122-109. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. The Knicks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
