After Action Report
The Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Knicks 119-98. The breakneck pace played right into Cavaliers' hands. The Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke; Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
