After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 125-79. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
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.
- 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.
