After Action Report
The Knicks held off the Cavaliers 97-89. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
