Jalen Brunson he scored 30 points, a Mikal Bridges 22 for New York, which has not trailed once in the game and now convincingly leads 3-0 in the four-game series.
The third-seeded Knicks won record 10 consecutive playoff games – by an average margin of 22.5 points – becoming the 10th team in league history with double-digit wins in a single playoff game. Five of the previous nine games brought home the championship.
The fourth game is played in Monday in Cleveland.
Karl-Anthony Towns scored 13 points with eight rebounds and seven assists, and OG Anunoby added 21 points for New York.
We feel – and have always felt – that the sky is the limit with this teamTowns said after the game.
We adapt very well as the game progresses. I always adapt to what the game demands of me.
He was the best at Cleveland Evan Mobley who scored 24 baskets, while Donovan Mitchell added 23, a James Harden 19.
Cleveland’s players looked tired considering they have been playing every other day since April 29th.
They played seven games to beat the Toronto Raptors in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, as well as against the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Semifinals.
