Hart, Brunson pace Knicks to 2-0 lead with dominant Game 2 win over Cavaliers
TL;DR Summary
The Knicks rolled to a 109-93 win over the Cavaliers to take a 2-0 lead in the East Finals, with all five Knicks starters scoring at least 18 and Josh Hart pouring in a playoff-career-high 26 while Jalen Brunson dished 14 assists and didn’t force his own scoring. An 18-0 third-quarter run helped seal the game as Cleveland struggled from deep and New York’s paint-focused defense limited Cavs’ looks, setting up a potential Finals push for the Knicks.
