After Action Report
The Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Knicks 132-112. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
