After Action Report
The Knicks pulled away from the Cavaliers 130-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
