After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Knicks downed the Cavaliers 120-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; Cavaliers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
