After Action Report
The Knicks ran roughshod over the Pacers 117-95. Every possession went the Knicks way. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
