After Action Report
The Knicks buried the Pacers 118-96. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Knicks. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
