After Action Report
The Cavaliers upended the Knicks 115-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Knicks. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
