The Indiana Pacers wrap up their home-and-home preseason series against the New York Knicks on Wednesday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Knicks worked over the Pacers and their emphasis on defense at MSG last Friday, rolling to a 131-114 win.
The back-to-back offers a chance for the Pacers to quickly judge any improvements to their approach in slowing down the Knicks. Of course, this also relies on both teams using comparable rotations which is not always expected in preseason play.
With just four preseason games and so many new faces, it is hard to believe the Pacers wouldn’t continue playing all healthy players while they try to hone their rotation for the regular season opener which is next Wednesday.
