After Action Report

In New York, the Knicks ran roughshod over the Pacers 129-100. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; the Knicks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. 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 · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Knicks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
