After Action Report
In New York, the Cavaliers survived the Knicks 114-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
