After Action Report
In a track meet, the Knicks buried the Cavaliers 116-95. Knicks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Shots just aren't falling for the Knicks lately; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
