What I'll be keeping an eye on tonight: 1. Stay close early. You figure the crowd will be pumped and the Pacers will come out with emotion. Don't get blown off the court in the first 10 minutes. Stay within range and it could bode well for the Knicks. 2. The Pacers were 5-25, 20%, from 3P range in game 3. You have to think they'll shoot a much better 3P% than that in game 4. Can the Knicks keep them somewhat in check to keep the game tight. 3. How does Tibs utilize the bench, he must give the starters some rest, and the bench some minutes. Going with # 2, I'd like to see Wright get 10 minutes +/- again since he is very solid on D. I think the Knicks will need some of his defensive tenacity in this game. You have to give the Pacers a little edge going into the game you'd think, but if the Knicks can keep it tight, especially early, they can win it late. It's a winnable game if the Knicks play the right way, and Tibs coaches the right way, using his bench again. This is the game that very well may decide the series (must win for the Knicks).
