After Action Report
The Pacers buried the Knicks 117-79. Every possession went the Pacers way. The Pacers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Pacers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Knicks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Knicks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
