The New York Knicks did everything right on Sunday and earned a hard-fought third victory in their fourth Playoff game against the Cleveland Cavaliers by beating the visitors 102-93 at MSG.
That’s so true, in fact, that quite a rare decision made by head coach Tom Thibodeau between the third and fourth quarters ended up being determinant of the final outcome of G4 and surely helped New York put up the 3-1 lead on the board.
Thibs, against all odds, benched his main man Julius Randle in favor of third-year-pro Obi Toppin. And oh boy, did Obadiah deliver.
