Game review
What happened
The Pacers beat the Knicks 106–104 at home. New York made 16 of 46 threes to Indiana's 10 of 29, but Indiana made 18 of 25 free throws to New York's 10 of 13 and won the rebounds 50 to 43. Jalen Brunson scored 33 with 11 assists, and Karl-Anthony Towns had 23 points and 15 rebounds.
What the model got right
We picked New York at 76%, and it was a two-point game. The model liked New York's recent form (about 8.7 a game against about minus 3.4) and the Knicks did shoot well from three. Indiana was without Tyrese Haliburton.
What didn't work
The pick was wrong. The model rated the teams almost level on strength (90.7 to 90.5) and leaned mostly on form, and Indiana's rebounding and free throws made up for the cold three-point line.
Why
A 76% chance still loses about one game in four, and this one came down to two points. Indiana's rebounding edge was the part the model had no sign of.
