The New York Knicks are on the precipice of a series win by virtue of defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers, 102-93, on a Saturday afternoon at MSG.
This game was weird, yo. The nasty funk that has followed Julius Randle around since Game 2 really boiled over in the third quarter. The Knicks led by nine points at halftime, but the Cavs bolted out to a strong start after halftime and quickly retook the lead. Julius looked mostly checked out on offense and defense. It’s the kind of mood we’ve seen from him a few times in his career, but this was a damn playoff game.
