It's been stated so many times this season but the New York Knicks continue to outwork their opponents. It sounds simple and on the surface level, it is pretty simple. The Knicks ultimately wore Cleveland down in Game 4 by putting in more effort.
Putting in effort is nothing new for a Knicks team that tied for second in rebounds and was third in second-chance points per game this season. It has become their identity and even has shot up a level since the addition of Josh Hart.
Game-by-game rebounding/second-chance point recap:
In Game 1 the Knicks held a 51-38 and 17-11 offensive rebounding advantage.
