After Action Report
The Knicks edged the Cavaliers 105-96. Every possession went the Knicks way. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Cavaliers; the Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
