After Action Report
The Knicks snuck past the Cavaliers 87-82. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; shots just aren't falling for the Cavaliers lately. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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.
