After Action Report
The Cavaliers outlasted the Knicks 116-109. Cavaliers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Cavaliers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
