(Indianapolis, IN) - The Pacers earned their first win at home since January 9th as they dominated the New York Knicks 103-82.
Indiana poured it on New York in the third quarter, outscoring the Knicks 35-12. The Knicks had no answer for Roy Hibbert inside the paint, as he recorded a double double with 18 points and 10 rebounds.
The Pacers were unstoppable in the paint as they manhandled the Knicks 50-26.
Indiana's Rodney Stuckey led all scorers with 22 points while New York's Carmelo Anthony scored 18 points.
Pacers' head coach Frank Vogel attributed the win to the team figuring out the triangle offense that New York likes to run. Indiana shot an impressive 53.2% from the field.
The Pacers have an off day Friday before taking on the Sacramento Kings on Saturday.
In other Pacers news, the team announced they'll play in their iconic "Flo-Jo" jerseys as a part of the NBA's Hardwood Classic Nights. The Pacers will rock the classic look in six games this season starting on February 4th against the Detroit Pistons.
