After Action Report
The Knicks ran roughshod over the Pacers 134-99. Knicks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Pacers are in a full-on tailspin. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
