'He had that look in his eye yesterday. You just get into this place. You go to this space. And he went there. He didn’t play the way he wanted in Game 1,' Donovan Mitchell said about Garland after the Cavs' victory over the Knicks Tuesday night.
107-90 Garland-led stomping of the Knicks that evened the best-of-seven playoff series at one game apiece
On that first possession following the stoppage, Garland worked one on one against Knicks guard RJ Barrett, who was taken two slots ahead of Garland in the 2019 NBA Draft. The spellbinding Cavs guard went into his bag, hitting Barrett with a string of slick dribble maneuvers. Garland pulled back a bit before darting around a Jarrett Allen screen that provided a sliver of space.
Twenty-six of Garland’s points came in the first half, joining franchise legends Kyrie Irving and LeBron James as the only Cavaliers in the last 25 years to score more than 25 points in a playoff half. With Garland on the floor, Cleveland was plus-29. Following Monday’s practice, Garland and Mitchell had a lengthy heart-to-heart and impromptu film session on the side of the court. Those chats have taken place regularly throughout the season, usually about once a month. The most recent came in Orlando, after the Cavs clinched the Eastern Conference’s fourth seed and learned they would be battling the Knicks in round one.
