After Action Report

In New York, the Knicks buried the Cavaliers 121-100. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
