After Action Report
The Knicks squeaked past the Cavaliers 103-101. Knicks torched the Cavaliers on the offensive end. The Knicks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
