Rivers Helps Knicks Rally Late To Get Past Pacers

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — New coach Tom Thibodeau expects the New York Knicks to play tough and physical.

He also knows a veteran like Austin Rivers can help show his young team how it’s done.

Rivers made the go-ahead 3-pointer with 3:23 to play and added another clutch basket during the game-sealing run Saturday night to help the Knicks record a rare 106-102 victory over Indiana.
