After Action Report
The Cavaliers squeaked past the Knicks 98-97. The Knicks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Cavaliers. Cavaliers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
