Key Performances on the Court

His shooting was efficient from beyond the arc where he hit 62 percent of his three-point attempts. Karl-Anthony Towns also made significant contributions by scoring 25 points and dominating the boards with 13 rebounds. However, despite their efforts and leading by as much as 15 points during the game, the Knicks could not maintain their advantage.

On defense, Precious Achiuwa made his presence felt by blocking two shots while also adding to the offensive tally with 13 points and six rebounds. Mikal Bridges contributed eight points along with three assists and two steals but struggled to find his rhythm from beyond the arc.

Cavaliers' Commanding Performance

They led for nearly half of the game time and had a balanced attack that saw them build up to a commanding lead of up to 21 points.
