After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks buried the Cavaliers 135-83. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
