The New York Knicks vs Cleveland Cavaliers preview:

Cavaliers:

Not the best game for the Cavaliers so far. They were solid in defense but missed their opportunities on offense. Even though Mitchell had 38 points and 8 assists, it wasn’t enough. They must work harder in defense, as they are the best team on paper.

Knicks:

Lebron James’ record and stats in the play-in tournament

For a team that wanted Mitchell at the beginning do the season, they sure aren’t missing him. The Knicks are looking like a solid team. There is hunger in their eyes. Jalen Brunson had a good night with 27 points, while Julius Randle had 19 points and 10 rebounds. A solid team built on good defense and a strong rotation.

“It’s gonna be a dogfight. The whole series. Every game, from now on till the Finals, every team, it’s gonna be a dogfight…And we’re gonna bring that dog out every game”

The New York Knicks vs. Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction:

Game two looks like it is going to be a big battle between two teams that don’t want to give an inch. New York seems like the better team. Cleveland has the talent, and Mitchell can turn things around, but he needs his teammates’ help.

For this game, we predict that the Cavs will win this one 95 - 90
