Back on October 28, 1983, the New York Knicks kicked off their season with a 113-106 win at Cleveland, a victory notable for the NBA debut of Darrell Walker, scoring seven points. Fast-forward 40 years and the Knicks (1-1) and Cavaliers (3-0) face off again, in tonight’s 7:30 pm tilt at Madison Square Garden.
Last season, the Knicks continued their winning ways (122-105 all-time) against the Cleveland Cavaliers by taking two of their three matchups—109-91 away on October 31, 2023; an 89-95 home loss on November 1, 2023; and a 107-98 away win on March 3, 2024.
