After Action Report
In a track meet, the Knicks squeaked past the Cavaliers 110-109. Knicks' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
