After Action Report
In New York, the Pacers took care of the Knicks 99-88. Ugly basketball, but the Pacers did just enough. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Knicks. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
