Cleveland Cavaliers have left the building in Game 4
The New York Knicks took care of business in Game 4 and swept the Cavaliers out of the building.
In Game 4, the Cleveland Cavaliers came out strong in the first quarter, and it had a feeling that they were going to make a big run during this game then...... all of a sudden.
The Knicks, The Knicks is what happened they ran the ball in transition, they played great defense and they played team ball and everyone contributed. They managed a 20-point lead in the second quarter.
While Cleveland would try and cut into the lead the Knicks would go on a run and it would just make it harder to catch up. Cleveland Cavaliers game was a culmination of mishaps, no one seemed to be able to get a shot to go in they weren't very good or active on the rebounding boards.
Cleveland will now go back and reanalyze. One thing I noticed is that they are not able to keep up with New York Knicks style of pace. James Harden seemed to slow down the unit a lot of times, preventing transitional plays. I will give Donavan Mitchell credit; he came in and played he just couldn't inspire his team to step up in a desperation situation.
The game score:
Cleveland 93 and New York 130 (ouch)
New York Knicks won the Eastern Conference Finals Headed to the Finals
