The loss of T.J. Warren appeared to affect the Indiana Pacers immediately as they put up their worst shooting night of the year, getting completely outclassed by the New York Knicks on both ends of the floor. The Pacers went scoreless for nearly 4:30 to close the game, allowing the Knicks to run off 11 straight after going ahead 96-93.
Indiana struggled all night to match energy with the Knicks while an equal inability to hit shots consistently allowed New York to thrive in a back-and-forth game. New York honed in on Domantas Sabonis this time around, which opened up things for Indiana behind the arc.
