In Cleveland, the Knicks survived the Cavaliers 103-100. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
