After Action Report
The Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Knicks 123-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. The Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
