After Action Report

In New York, the Knicks handled the Pacers 123-110. The tempo dragged the Pacers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
