After Action Report
In a track meet, the Knicks pulled away from the Pacers 115-102. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. The Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
