After Action Report
The Knicks survived the Cavaliers 106-105. Knicks' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
