The Knicks have a clearer runway in the Eastern Conference than they have had this century, with the Cleveland Cavaliers being the biggest test standing in their way. Zach Lowe of The Ringer just revealed why he would pick the Knicks over the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals, naming their toughness and physicality as the deciding factors.
Speaking on The Zach Lowe Show, Lowe said, "If you right now asked me to pick a Knicks-Cavs Conference Finals, let's say everyone is healthy, I think I would pick the Knicks. There's something about their toughness and their physicality that I just like in that matchup.
