00:00All right, so let's get to the NBA last night, the New York Knicks. They beat the Indiana Pacers.

00:04We just heard from Rick Carlisle. Boy, he was not too happy, Gilbert, with that effort last night,

00:08specifically with Carl Anthony Towns putting up a 40 spot, 14 of 23 from the field. And, you know,

00:14this is kind of who the Knicks have been, very streaky over the course of the year, winning

00:17five in a row, six in a row, five in a row, a lot of streaks, then going the other way sometimes,

00:21but a pretty clean win for them against Indiana last night. Very clean win, Craig. And I think

00:26that explaining their streaking, this is a great way to kind of define that win that they had last

00:30night. Carl Anthony Towns with the 40 piece, Josh Hart, 30 points, 10 rebounds as well in that game.

00:36But it was a big response for New York on national television. Their last two national TV games

00:41didn't go very well over the weekend. They were flat out embarrassed by the Boston Celtics. And

00:45then the week before, it was the Lakers that did the embarrassment of the Knicks. So a response in

00:49front of a big time audience. They really haven't gotten very many signature wins yet this season,

00:54but at least getting a win like that and taking care of business in a playoff rematch,

00:57as we indicated there on that graphic, is the first step, especially going towards the All-Star break.
