INDIANAPOLIS — Just when the Knicks were showing a pulse last weekend, they went belly up on back-to-back nights.
The Knicks didn't just look dead tired at Bankers Life Field House. They looked plain dead amid a season that's gone beyond embarrassing.
One night after losing by 38 to Sacramento in their season's most lopsided loss, the Knicks D-League roster got pummeled by the Pacers, 105-82 Wednesday, committing 16 turnovers in the first half and playing soft and in slow motion on the defensive end.
Against two teams with losing records, the Knicks lost by a combined 61 points.
Realizing the competition was Team Tri-tanic, Pacers coach Frank Vogel rested center Roy Hibbert and the sides looked just as unfair. Somehow, despite Paul George's season-long injury, the 26-34 Pacers are in contention for the East's No. 8 seed.
The Knicks, who shot 39.5 percent, fell to a league-worst 12-48 and 2-18 without
Carmelo Anthony, out for the season with a left knee injury. The Knicks, who won two straight over Detroit and Toronto last weekend, are back to square one.
The Knicks finished with 20 turnovers. The Pacers shot 60 percent in the first half as they took a 65-41 lead. Pacers guard Ronald Stuckey stuck it to the Knicks with 15 points in 11 minutes in the opening half.
Pacers point guard George Hill did anything he wanted and notched 21 points and six assists, dribbling through the Knicks' defense. Andrea Bargnani, after a lethargic performance against the Kings, bounced back with 25 points and Langston Galloway hit for 11 points. Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 13, but shot just 5 of 17.
But across the board, there was no defensive pulse as 22 games are left to the nightmare, including Saturday's Garden contest against these Pacers to complete the home-and-home.
