The New York Knicks dropped Game 2 of their best-of-seven first-round series against the Cavaliers on Tuesday 107-90, losing in a relatively comfortable fashion, not really withstanding any chance beyond the first half.
Julius Randle was the Knicks’ leading scorer with 22 points but only shot 8-20 from the field. Jalen Brunson also netted in an inefficient 20-point performance, shooting just 5-17 from the field.
The stifling Cavaliers’ defense held the Knicks to an atrocious 36.7% from the field and 24.1% from three-point range. Needless to say, this is a game the Knicks will want to forget about.
