After Action Report
The Knicks took care of the Pacers 132-118. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
