After Action Report
The Knicks survived the Cavaliers 100-98. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. Knicks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; shots just aren't falling for the Cavaliers lately. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
