Recap: Knicks 88, Pacers 76
It was not the prettiest game, in some aspects, hardly anything to be proud of, but the Knicks improve to 7-1 with an 88-76 win over the Indiana Pacers this afternoon.

Yes, it’s only been three games – a sample size so small that it hardly has any real bearing on the season, or how good or bad a team will be.
