How It Happened:
Riding the momentum from Friday’s dominating win over Brooklyn, the Knicks marched into Cleveland and knocked off the defending Eastern Conference champs, 114-95. From the opening tip, New York controlled the tempo as the road crew jumped out to a 29-19 after one quarter of action against the Cavaliers. The Knicks connected on a 51 percent of their attempts from the floor in the first half while burring 6-of-15 shots beyond the arc en route to a 62-54 halftime advantage. When Cleveland mounted any comeback attempt, the orange and blue had the answer, especially in the crucial third quarter where New York outscored the Cavaliers 30-21.
