After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 136-116. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. The Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
