Indiana Pacers vs. New York Knicks
Wednesday, May 08, 2024 – 8:00 PM ET at Madison Square Garden
More Offense In New York
The New York Knicks scored 124.2 points per 100 possessions against the Indiana Pacers in Game 1 of the series. They also hit a 59.3% effective field goal percentage and added 32.5% of offensive rebounds, to go along with a 27.2 free throw rate.
The Knicks will need to cut turnovers down, but the Knicks did everything else exceptionally well on the offensive glass.
Those second chances will continue to be there all series. After all, the Pacers have allowed at least 32.5% of offensive rebounds in three consecutive games dating back to their matchups against Milwaukee.
It’s Indiana’s Pace
The Pacers got what they wanted. The Knicks played fast, and the total for Game 1 went way over the total. There’s no reason to believe that’ll change.
Indiana is second in the NBA in points per 100 possessions and rarely turns the ball over. In Game 1, the Pacers turned the ball over just 8.4% of the time, despite moving at a very fast pace.
