After Action Report
The Knicks fended off the Pacers 121-113. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Knicks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
