After Action Report
The Knicks fended off the Pacers 116-107. The tempo dragged the Pacers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
