After Action Report

In a track meet, the Knicks squeaked past the Cavaliers 111-109. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. The Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
