The Cleveland Cavaliers bounced back after a subpar week.
They’re now 5-5 in the last ten games, and they showed up again against a potential playoff opponent.
They dominated the New York Knicks with a strong second half, finishing the game 124-105.
A STRONG SECOND HALF FOR THE DUB.

Love the hustle, Cavs. You're makin' us Ohioans proud.

It was refreshing to see the Cavs take down a potential postseason foe with such ease, and that was despite not having Ty Jerome on the court.
The Cavs have been in the spotlight for most of the season.
Some people still doubt whether they can be as good in the playoffs, so taking down another contender in the Eastern Conference will obviously give them a big motivational boost.
Kenny Atkinson’s team will now look to finish the season as healthy as possible to focus on what’s next for them.
They’ve had the best record in the Eastern Conference all season long, and they’ve fared pretty decently against all potential foes.
They’ve won more than 60 games and have had one of the greatest seasons in franchise history.
Unfortunately, it won’t mean much unless they find a way to keep their foot on the gas when it matters most.
Things will get tougher and more physical in the playoffs when the referees allow the players to play through contact, and the Cavs have historically struggled against physical teams in a seven-game series.
