There is only one way Mike D'Antoni coaches and that is a high-paced, quick-shooting offense designed to tire out the opponent and break them down defensively. The problem is that his teams can score, but they don't defend as the Knicks are allowing 114 ppg through five games. Cleveland isn't always accommodating to that style, but they see themselves as a better team than the Knicks and will run with them when they get the opportunities. The Cavs, on the second of consecutive nights don't bring the same defense and have played nine of the last 13 in this situation to the OVER. The Knicks have now gone 10-3 to the OVER in their last 13 posted as a home dog. This one goes over the total.
