Monday night’s game was a heartbreaker for the New York Knicks. After building a 23-point lead against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Knicks slowly let the lead slip away. The Cavaliers ultimately took the lead for good in a 104-101 Knicks loss.
New York outscored 43-25 in the fourth quarter, and had a chance to tie the game after James missed two clutch free throws, but they couldn’t secure the rebound.
Despite the loss, there were a few positive things that should make fans even more excited about the future.
