After Action Report
The Knicks buried the Cavaliers 136-110. Knicks' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. The Knicks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
