After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Knicks downed the Cavaliers 99-88. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. The Knicks looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; 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. Style points be damned.

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