After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Knicks ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 113-90. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.
