The Knicks still own the Cavs.
After a summer of plotting revenge against their playoff conquerors, the Cavaliers trotted out a depleted roster for a feeble payback attempt as the Knicks’ Big 4 used a balanced attack Tuesday in their 109–91 Halloween stroll at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
The Knicks had five players score in double digits and led for the final 39 minutes, with Randle grabbing 10 boards to notch his fourth straight double-double to start the campaign. But, as former Knicks GM Scott Perry said recently to explain why New York didn’t trade for the athletic guard, Mitchell wasn’t that “singular force.”NBAE via Getty Images
Mitchell’s status was supposedly up in the air until close to game time, with the team listing him as questionable because of a sore hamstring.The Knicks — who shot 44.2 percent overall and 38.2 percent from beyond the arc — dominated on the road. The Cavs had been vocal the previous two days about returning favors to the Knicks after getting hammered by Tom Thibodeau’s squad in last season’s playoffs.
