After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Knicks ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 119-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks steamroller is in full effect right now. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
