If the Knicks-Pacers rivalry is going to regain its passion, the first sparks could fly Tuesday night when the teams square off in Madison Square Garden for the first time since former head coach Isiah Thomas was hired as New York's President and General Manager.
The Pacers have won the first two meetings (95-94 in New York on Nov. 15 and 93-70 at home on Nov. 27), but both games pre-dated Thomas' hiring and the subsequent blockbuster moves to trade for Stephon Marbury and replace coach Don Chaney with Lenny Wilkens.
Let the good times roll...
Pacers 92
