Thanks for the Game Thread Rady .. I missed the first half, and it look like the Knicks been holding their own on outscoring the Cavs. The Knicks are one pt from scoring 80 pts in a half .. Will there be any DEFENSE in 2nd Half ???

Half Time .. Knicks 79 - Cavs 72

End of 3rd Quarter .. Knicks 105 - Cavs 102

A nice high scoring & vicious blocks game .. Both teams having 100 pts in 3 qtr. plus Brunson the high scorer having 40 pts to Cavs Mitchell 38 pts
Brunson caught a good one to the chin getting the Cavs to commit offensive foul

Tonight Friday night Knicks are to fast for the Cavs .. under 8 min 119 -104 Knicks !!!

 

[Kiyaman]

123-116 Knicks lead 3 min remain
The Cavs are making a strong comeback the past 3 minutes .. Knicks had to call a time out .. we need to score

Tonight, our winning (Closer) PG Brunson scored 48 pts, 9 Dimes, and 2 turnovers.
And Donovan Mitchell scored 42 pts, 5 Dimes, and 4 turnovers.
Game-Ball goes to Brunson !!!
Seven Knicks players scored in double figures for the Win.

We really didn't need the trade for Donovan Mitchell in the offseason, after we signed Brunson, plus have Grimes and Quickley's 2-Way performance in the back-court.

All I can say about Hartenstein's all-around frontcourt performance are, "He's a Winner!".
Center MitchRob (without Randle) in the frontcourt gave us a double-double, 2 steal, 2 block, 9 offensive-rebound performance in 22 minutes tonight.
We are now a 45-33 .. 5th seeded team in the East

On a night when DMitch was on fire and could have had Knicks fans shaking their heads about how come we couldn't get the guy. Our guy Brunson matches Donavan with a better 40 point night, how good is JB? Will he be a perennial AS in the league?
