After a rough fourth quarter on Wednesday night and two that were even worse to begin Friday’s rematch, the Wine & Gold will be happy to leave New York and the preseason behind them.
The Knicks jumped all over the shorthanded Cavaliers in the opening stanza – running out to a 37-point first half lead and barely looking back after intermission and handing Cleveland the 119-83 loss on Friday night at Madison Square Garden.
Although Collin Sexton and JaVale McGee made their preseason debuts on Friday, the Cavs were still without the balance of their rotational guys, including Kevin Love, Andre Drummond, Larry Nance Jr.
