After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks rolled past the Pacers 113-76. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Knicks steamroller is in full effect right now; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
