The Knicks' recent performances have been a testament to their balanced attack and resilience. In their victorious outing, they managed an impressive 46 percent field goal percentage while limiting turnovers to just nine. Their ability to capitalize on second-chance points, amassing 26 thanks to aggressive offensive rebounding, was crucial in dismantling the Pacers' defense.


On the other hand, despite facing setbacks in recent encounters with the Knicks, the Indiana Pacers have shown they cannot be underestimated. Their ability to score from beyond the arc at a 44 percent clip in one of their previous games against New York indicates that they possess lethal shooting capabilities that could pose significant challenges.
