Wrap-Up -- If Cleveland’s convincing win over the Raptors on Monday night in Toronto didn’t show the Eastern Conference that they’d snapped out of their mini-funk, Wednesday night’s wire-to-wire drubbing of the red-hot Knicks sure did.
The Cavaliers made it six straight at Madison Square Garden and eight straight overall against the Knicks – clobbering a confident squad that had won nine of its previous 12 contests, 126-94, on Wednesday night in New York.
The Wine and Gold left nothing to chance in their second meeting with the Knicks this year – jumping on them early and not letting up even as Coach Lue emptied his bench with just under eight minutes to play and the Cavaliers up 29.
