After Action Report
The Cavaliers buried the Knicks 118-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. The Cavaliers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
