With Aggressive Defense, Pacers Shut Down Knicks

With Aggressive Defense, Pacers Shut Down Knicks

The New York Knicks were constantly stonewalled in Game 1 by Roy Hibbert and a Pacers defensive scheme that is not a secret in NBA circles. What did Indiana do so well, and how can New York fare better as this series

Mike Woodson decided to run with a bigger lineup at times to avoid a hypothetical matchup problem caused by the Indiana Pacers' size. It didn't work in Game 1, but Woodson says he'll double down.

The Knicks have won 58 basketball games this season, and won a playoff series for the first time since the spring of 2000. And because of something that dizzy and intoxicating, you now get the idea that the Indiana Pacers are just some kind of speed

The challenge necessarily grows bigger as the N.B.A. playoffs progress, and the Knicks are a seasoned enough group to understand this basic truth. It was, however, not the size of the challenge but the actual size of the players standing in their path

After picking up a road victory in Game 1, the Pacers know what their schedule is with the Knicks moving forward.
