The Cavs had dead legs by the mid point of the 3rd quarter. After going up one on back to back 3 point shots from Steve "SuperNova" Novak, the Knick's reserves proceeded to light up the Cavs with 3 pointers, hustle plays, dunks and alley-oops that would have made Lob City jealous. Be clear, that beating up on the Cavs is nothing to get too fired up about BUT for a .500 team (18-18) looking for chemistry and flow, the ability to play like this has to be seen as a positive. Hopefully it can continue into Boston this weekend.The goal for NY right now is continued good play and evolution of a defensive attacking identity, as their go after the top spot in the Atlantic division.
"And to be honest, the last couple of days in practice, that group has just kicked our first group's butt every day, so it wasn't different. They've been playing that way." -Coach D'Antoni speaks on teh NYK reserves.
