After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Knicks ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 122-81. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; shots just aren't falling for the Cavaliers lately. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
