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.
