After Action Report
The Knicks handled the Cavaliers 118-105. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them.

- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
