The New York Knicks completed their long road trip with a 101-92 victory over the Indiana Pacers. The end score does not reflect how close this game got down the stretch.
The game began with both teams struggling to score. Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby carried the offense through the first quarter, while the absence of Josh Hart and Karl-Anthony Towns left the second unit without its typical advantages. But New York woke up in the second quarter, building a double-digit lead.
The team fell back into a stupor in the third quarter, allowing the Pacers to cut into the lead and make a comeback. Indiana briefly took a one-point lead in the fourth quarter, but the familiar tandem of Brunson and Anunoby made plays to reclaim the lead. Mitchell Robinson’s rebounding helped seal the win for the Knicks.
The Pacers brought back players who had recently sat, while the depleted Knicks added KAT to their list of resting players but still managed to win. Let’s check out how New York held on with the player performances.
