Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson has addressed a previous remark about the New York Knicks, stating plainly that "they dominated us." The clarification comes after Atkinson's earlier comment drew attention across the NBA.
Atkinson, in his first season leading the Cavaliers, made the admission following Cleveland's matchup against the Knicks. The coach's straightforward assessment acknowledges New York's superiority in that contest, moving past whatever previous phrasing had caused a stir.
The Cavaliers, who opened their season in late October, are navigating the early stages of Atkinson's tenure. His willingness to credit the opponent reflects a candid approach as Cleveland works to establish its identity under the new coaching staff.
