Knicks Sweep Cavaliers in Game 4
The Knicks won Game 4 by 37 points as Cleveland shot 28.9% from 3-point range in the series and never recovered.
- On Monday, the New York Knicks defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 130-93 in Game 4 at Madison Square Garden, sweeping the series and advancing to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999.
- Cleveland's collapse traced to fatigue after seven-game victories over Toronto and Detroit; the Cavs then surrendered a 22-point fourth-quarter lead in Game 1 despite acquiring James Harden in February to bolster the roster.
- Donovan Mitchell scored 31 points in the loss but said 'We did this to ourselves' and 'We had an opportunity in Game 1 and we blew that,' as the Cavs shot just 28.9% from three-point range in the series.
- Harden acknowledged 'Now we have to take another two steps and get even better,' while Mitchell and other starters sat with the Knicks leading by 33 in the fourth quarter.
- Owner Dan Gilbert, who has invested over $400 million in the franchise, must decide whether to commit to Mitchell's potential five-year, $350 million extension, while free-agent LeBron James could return to strengthen Cleveland's roster.
