After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers squeaked past the Knicks 119-118 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. The Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
