After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Knicks 125-100. The Knicks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
