After Action Report
The Cavaliers held off the Knicks 97-90. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Shots just aren't falling for the Cavaliers lately; the Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Tonight's Knicks utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 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.
