After Action Report
The Knicks buried the Cavaliers 101-62. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it

- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
