On Friday night, the suddenly new-look Cavaliers welcome the Knicks to town in a battle of two teams looking to snap out of recent funks.
The Wine & Gold dropped their third straight contest, a one-sided loss to the Jazz on Tuesday night. But in the two days since, the Cavaliers shook things up in a big way – acquiring up-and-coming young big man, Jarrett Allen, and a sharpshooting young swingman, Taurean Prince, in a three-team deal from the Nets in exchange for Dante Exum and a pair of picks.
Cleveland welcomes James Harden, Kevin Durant (possibly Kyrie Irving) and the new-look Nets in a two-game set at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse next week.
