I think it's big for a few reasons. One, they just came off of a big loss to Boston the night of two nights before. And obviously, I think for a lot of fans, one, they're happy to be in the position where this team is having these type of conversations and expectations. But two, there are expectations. Right. And it's a team that is has not beaten Cleveland, Boston or Oklahoma City this year.

It's a team that going into tonight, they were five and seven against the top eight teams in the East. Now they're six and seven and will likely get to seven and seven tomorrow against Atlanta, as they obviously are very depleted right now and pivoting toward the tank. So.

It is it's going to be a situation where the Knicks need to try to rack up these wins, not just because like they need them, because I agree with you. Like, I don't think Indiana is going to catch them in the standings. Yeah. But just like to continue to build confidence, can continue to find ways against different play styles.

Indiana, obviously, is one of the fastest and most kind of free teams that there are. And I thought tonight the Knicks did a good job of just like being physical. I think they had 70 points in the paint. Towns didn't settle for threes like he took. He took a decent amount, but he was getting to the paint, had a bunch of and ones. Josh Hart was cutting them to death in the dunker spot.

Offensive rebounds. Those two really carried them. Brunson had foul trouble. I think he got five, two minutes into the third, three minutes into the third. It was just a very kind of like grinded out and outlast your opponent. And the Pacers had opportunities to make it close. The Knicks played just enough good defense, I think, to keep the Pacers at arm's length.

And then just being able to kind of rack up those points in the paint and those and ones, I think, was huge. And they did so well on the glass, too. So. I think that they found a little bit of a blueprint there with just being physical against the Pacers. And I thought it warmed down at the end and allowed the Knicks to kind of extend themselves in the last four or five minutes of that game.
