The Knicks flushed a 13-point third-quarter lead Monday night to Donovan Mitchell and the Cavaliers to drop to 1-2.
The retooled Knicks have looked more cohesive since getting destroyed by the Celtics on Opening Night, but they only have split a pair in their next two games against recent Eastern Conference playoff foes.
Josh Hart, who was questionable to play due to an ankle issue, limped to the locker room late in the fourth quarter, shortly after a mid-court collision with Cleveland’s Caris LeVert. The Knicks missed their first seven attempts from 3-point range and trailed by nine in the first quarter, before Cam Payne and Towns connected from long distance in the final 2:07 to help cut the deficit to 22-18 through one. Mitchell and Garland netted seven apiece for the Cavaliers in the first.
The Knicks led by as many as 13 in the third on OG Anunoby’s 3-pointer with 4:29 to play in the quarter, but two straight close-range baskets by Garland triggered a 13-2 Cleveland run that pulled the Cavaliers within two, 74-72, with less than one minute remaining in the period.Knicks forward OG Anunoby is defended by Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley during the first half at Madison Square Garden, Monday, Oct.
