After Action Report
The Knicks pulled away from the Cavaliers 102-88. Knicks' starting five clicked while the Cavaliers looked disjointed. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
