After Action Report
The Cavaliers held off the Knicks 99-91. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Knicks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Knicks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Knicks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
