Final Score: Pacers 102, Knicks 95

Well, that was a very yucky way to start the series. The Pacers had every edge we expected and a whole bunch of edges we didn't expect. A pretty bad offensive team looked positively dominant on that end. A very good defensive team absolutely devoured New York's top offensive looks, and the Knicks were happier to just stop playing offense for stretches than they were to mix things up.

There goes home-court advantage. Recap coming up.
