After Action Report
The Knicks buried the Cavaliers 116-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
