After Action Report
The Knicks squeaked past the Cavaliers 116-114. Knicks' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- 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.
