Good evening and welcome to tonight's edition of The Dog Pound! Today, we will look at the Indiana Pacers in their match-up against the New York Knicks.

I have to say the Knicks dominated the first half. Constant possession, great offense, great defense, yet at halftime, the Pacers still had them at a tie. 55-55, an alright first half for the Knicks and a tremendous first half for our underdogs.

 After losing the past four games, a win for the Pacers tonight was crucial. After being tied up for most of the game, they ended the third quarter with the Knicks back in the lead at 84-77.

The fourth quarter played out to be a close fight, ultimately ending at 104-94, with the Knicks winning.

Let's look at the Pacers player #11, Domantas Sabonis. Sabonis had a great game, especially after having to take the lead with Malcolm Brogdon, Chris Duarte, and Isiah Jackson entering Covid protocols.

Sabonis ended the game with 15 points, eight rebounds, and four assists. Let's see what our projections were.

We were almost perfect with our projections tonight and spot-on with our assists projection. Considering that the robot cannot predict injuries or that Knick's players Julius Randle and RJ Barrett shockingly played to each other's advantages tonight, I would say it was an excellent night for Pine Sports. 

To end the night, let's send a shout-out to our Underdog's 27-year-old rookie Keifer Sykes. Sykes dominated the Pacer's scoreboard tonight and finished the night with 22 points.

That's all for now on The Dog Pound. Come back on Thursday to read how the Celtics hold out against the Knicks.
