Knicks Have No Answers for Cavs in Game 2

 CAVALIERS 107 - KNICKS 90 

The Knicks had no answers for the Cleveland Cavaliers Tuesday night, falling 107-90 in Game two, as the series now shifts to Madison Square Garden, even at a game a piece. 

New York had no answer for Darius Garland, who put down 32 points on 8-of-17 shooting for Cleveland. Former Net Caris LeVert was also a prickly thorn in the Knicks side, adding 24 points off the bench for the Cavaliers.


New York trailed by only three points, 25-22 after the first quarter, before Cleveland exploded in the second quarter, doubling up the Knicks 34-17 in the frame. They would never look back the rest of the way.

The Knicks had trimmed the deficit to a single point, 25-24, on a pair of R.J. Barrett free throws, before Cleveland went on a 15-4 run to increase their lead to 12-points with 5:07 to go before the half.

Julius Randel led the way for the Knicks with 22 points, while Jalen Brunson contributed 20 points and six assists.

Expect a wild, and raucous crowd at the Garden for Game 3.
