After Action Report
In New York, the Cavaliers blew the doors off the Knicks 106-81. Every possession went the Cavaliers way. The Cavaliers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Knicks are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Knicks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It broke open after the break.
