After Action Report
The Knicks outlasted the Pacers 120-103. The tempo dragged the Pacers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
