For most of Thursday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the New York Knicks stayed ahead. Defense was questionable at times, but they shot well from the floor and mostly limited the Cavs to just three-pointers. That lasted until this game’s final five minutes, as the Knicks blew a six-point lead and cost themselves the game, 125-118.
The last five minutes was not the only positive play for Cleveland, as they had 40 points in the full fourth quarter, compared to New York’s 21. It made the difference and ended the blue and orange’s winning streak at two.
It’s not like it was a poor performance from the Knicks, either.
