The New York Knicks (47-33) won their fifth consecutive game after defeating hosts Indiana Pacers (34-46) at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse, 138-129 on Wednesday.
New York, who entered this game knowing they wouldn’t have Julius Randle (sprained ankle) and RJ Barrett (illness), also ruled Jalen Brunson out (right-hand maintenance) before the initial tip-off.
None of that could stop this machine we call the Knicks.
Thanks to a ridiculous team effort in which as many as three different players scored 32+ points, the Knicks were able to hit the 32-point plateau in each of the four quarters while surrendering more than 31 points in only one of the four periods.
