After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Knicks 126-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
