The Knicks were down Quentin Grimes’ strong wing defense in Game 4 but it didn’t matter. New York still won a tough, gritty battle against the Cleveland Cavaliers by a final score of 102-93. Jalen Brunson led the way with 29 points and six assists, including five threes.
The Knicks have a 3-1 series lead and can punch their ticket to the East Semifinals in Cleveland in Wednesday’s Game 5.
Some takeaways:
Where’s Randle? Noticeably absent from the lineup during Game 4’s home stretch was Julius Randle. He struggled for the second game in a row and had just seven points with two rebounds in 27 minutes.
