The Cleveland Cavaliers took care of business in New York with a 123-109 win over the Knicks.
The Cleveland Cavaliers didn’t play their best, but their best wasn’t needed to beat the Knicks. Cleveland didn’t play with sustained energy throughout the game, but that doesn’t matter when you make 19 threes.
Kevin Love led the way for the Cavs. He finished with a game-high 27 points on six of 13 shooting from three.
It was just another night in the office for LeBron James. He ended the night with 26 points, 11 assists, six boards, and a steal.
The Cavs secured home-court advantage in the first round with the win. They still have a shot at the three seed in the East. The Cavs just need to win their last game against New York and have Philadelphia lose one of their final two games against the Hawks and Bucks.
Here’s what we learned from this win.
