The Cleveland Cavaliers are back in the playoffs for the first time since the departure of LeBron James. A strong regular season notched 51 wins and the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs. Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen are the four-headed hydra ready to tear through the Cavs’ postseason opponents.
The first opponent this year is the New York Knicks, led by old Central Division foe Tom Thibodeau as head coach. Julius Randle was an All-Star this year and Jalen Brunson probably should have been, and the deep team surrounding them makes for a difficult opponent. Through two games, the series is tied 1-1.
The star power of the Cavaliers and the market size of the Knicks have planted this game firmly on national television, but not everyone can or wishes to tune in to the TV broadcast. For those without access to ESPN and TNT, or for those who prefer an audio play-by-play so they can follow the game while doing something else, there is a radio broadcast of every game as well.
