After Action Report
The Knicks took care of the Cavaliers 126-107. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Knicks. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
