After Action Report
In a track meet, the Knicks rolled past the Cavaliers 132-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. The Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
