After Action Report
The Knicks ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 144-109. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
