INDIANAPOLIS — Don’t worry, an “extremely dramatic’’ change will happen by next season, according to overly optimistic Knicks owner James Dolan.

Predictably they couldn’t keep that up, and lost to the Pacers, 103-98, at Bankers Life Fieldhouse despite rallying late from a 16-point deficit, and making it a one-possession game in the final 20 seconds.
Dolan, in a radio interview earlier in the day in which he defended his banning a heckler from the Garden on Saturday, said the Knicks “certainly are going to be in the playoffs and hopefully we’ll go far.
