Game Preview: Knicks at Pacers- 12/08/21

After two encouraging games, the New York Knicks (12-12) clanged like a discordant player piano versus the Denver Nuggets on Saturday. They were nearly run out of the tri-state area by pitchfork-wielding fans in Bing Bong t-shirts. In San Antonio on Tuesday night, however, they beat the Spurs in a complete game of inspired ball, 121-109. Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.

The Indiana Pacers (10-16) have been an enigma of their own. The roster has talent (Domantas Sabonis, Myles Turner, Malcolm Brogdon, etc.) but has been inconsistent under new coach Rick Carlisle. The Hoosiers beat the Bulls by 32…but recently had a four-game losing streak…but are 1-9 in games decided by four points…
