After Action Report
The Knicks edged the Cavaliers 103-94. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. The Knicks steamroller is in full effect right now; fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.

- Knicks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
