After Action Report

The Knicks outlasted the Pacers 113-94. The better team simply showed up tonight. Knicks' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
