After Action Report
The Knicks handled the Cavaliers 133-114. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. The Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke; Cavaliers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
