After Action Report
The Knicks squeaked past the Cavaliers 101-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Knicks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; shots just aren't falling for the Cavaliers lately. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
