After Action Report

The Knicks survived the Cavaliers 113-111. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Knicks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
