    (Sunday, December 16, 2018 5:10:00 PM)

    Victor Oladipo is getting close.

    Oladipo had his best outing since returning from a nagging right knee injury that kept him out of the lineup for 11 games, scoring 26 points Sunday as the Indiana Pacers beat the Knicks 110-99 for their seventh straight victory.

    INDIANAPOLIS — Enes Kanter posted his 20th double-double this season — a 20-point, 15-rebound outing in Sunday’s 110-99 loss to the Pacers. Kanter, a traditional low-post center, even bagged a 3-pointer — his fifth this season. His numbers are All-Star worthy and he’s playing for a new contract. Because of his enormous cap hold, it…

    INDIANAPOLIS — Knicks coach David Fizdale will try anything to get the Knicks’ 26th-ranked defense humming. The zone started in Charlotte’s overtime victory Friday, and Fizdale employed more of it Sunday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, keeping it close and the score low against the NBA’s hottest team. But in the end, this new zone employment…

    INDIANAPOLIS — Remember Lance Thomas? He’s back. The longest-tenured Knick will return to action after arthroscopic knee surgery when the Knicks face the Pacers on Sunday at 5 p.m. The 30-year-old Thomas has been out for five weeks but with little fanfare, as coach David Fizdale focused on heavy playing time for his young charges….
