After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks survived the Cavaliers 106-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Knicks' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
