Kevin Knox puts one on highlight reel, but not in Knicks ‘W’ column

CLEVELAND — Kevin Knox rocked the city that houses the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Despite the Knicks’ tough-to-swallow, 113-106 loss to the moribund Cavaliers on Wednesday night, many fans will most remember Knox’s emphatic fast break, right-handed dunk over Matthew Dellavedova with 32.5 seconds left that put the Knicks up one point. They couldn’t hold onto the lead, but that won’t erase the memory of the highlight maneuver, after which the mild-mannered 19-year-old did a little celebratory shimmy.

“We fought really hard to come back,’’ said Knox, who wound up with 19 points.
