- The Knicks got their lead up to 12 points in the second quarter, but the Pacers got going on a 25-13 run to end the half while New York hit just two of their nine shots from three-point range. Barrett had 24 points at the half.
- Things stayed tight in the third, as teams exchanged bucked to make it a 70-70 ballgame. The Knicks attacked the paint much more frequently, taking only four three-pointers in the entire quarter. And it worked – the Knicks led 84-77 through three, closing the quarter on a 14-7 run. Randle cooked in the third, too, knocking five of seven from the floor for 14 points.
- The Pacers fought back, making it a one-point game with less than nine minutes to go. Both teams went cold, as only seven points were scored in a four-plus minute stretch, but the Knicks were able to go on a slow but effective 13-3 run to stretch their lead to 11 with just over two minutes to go, and never looked back.
- It was a brutal night from three (6-for-28, 21.4 percent), but the Knicks scored 54 of their points in the paint, despite the NBA's leading shot blocker in Myles Turner being on the floor. The Knicks shot 59.6 percent (31-for-52) inside the perimeter.
- Randle had one of his best games of the season, finishing with 30 points and tied a season high with 16 rebounds. It was Randle's third 30-point double-double of the season, and he was lights out from midrange, knocking 10 of his 13 shots from inside the three-point line.
Barrett finished with 32 points and eight boards.
- Evan Fournier did not record a point as he missed all seven shots from the floor. He was subbed out with 4:30 to go in the third quarter and didn’t see the floor again.
