After Action Report
The Knicks ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 123-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Knicks; Knicks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
