Cavs Blast Knicks, Ring in New Season

Wrap-Up – On arguably the biggest night in Cleveland sports history – with the Cavaliers receiving their rings and raising the 2016 Championship banner into the rafters while the Indians hosted Game 1 of the World Series next door – there was no way defending champs were going to let New York spoil another home opener at The Q.

And although the new-look Knicks cut Cleveland’s lead to three points at intermission, it was all Wine and Gold in the second stanza – outscoring New York, 34-19, in the third quarter and pulling away in the fourth for the 117-88 victory.
