After Action Report
The Knicks took care of the Cavaliers 112-101. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss; the Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
