After Action Report
The Knicks buried the Cavaliers 125-97. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss; the Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
