After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers took care of the Knicks 128-110. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
