After Action Report
The Knicks survived the Cavaliers 104-101. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
