The odds were against the New York Knicks (37-19) tonight at the Rocket Arena. The Cleveland Cavaliers (46-10) had lost only four home games this season. Both teams were playing on the second night of a back-to-back, both having won games in New York City yesterday (Cavs at Barclays, Knicks at MSG). The Knicks were short-handed again, with Josh Hart sitting out a second game and Mitchell Robinson in street clothes. Sure, OG Anunoby returned after missing six with a toe/foot issue, but the sledding was bound to be tough against a healthy, league-leading Cavs team.
