It’ll be extremely tough for Cavaliers to bounce back after their awful scoring performance in Game 3. They got a really tough draw in having to face the Knicks as they haven’t had much success against this squad all season.

This is a big moment for Knicks fans, as they’ve struggled a lot to be competitive in past seasons.
The team has found its rhythm and the role players have worked really well with their stars.
Tom Thibodeau will always be criticized for his coaching style but he’s getting the job done this season.
If they make it to the second round, their rivals could be the Milwaukee Bucks without Giannis Antetokounmpo or the No. 8 seed Miami Heat.
This season didn’t start the best way for the Knicks and they could end up going to the Eastern Conference Finals after all.
New York fans are happy and Stephen A. Smith’s words only added fuel to their happiness.
