After Action Report
The Knicks handled the Cavaliers 108-90. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Knicks. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
