Knicks Sweep Cavaliers in Game 4
The Knicks won Game 4 by 37 points as Cleveland shot 28.9% from 3-point range in the series and never recovered.
- On Monday, the New York Knicks defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 130-93 in Game 4 at Madison Square Garden, sweeping the Eastern Conference Finals and advancing to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999.
- Cleveland's collapse traced to exhaustion after seven-game victories over Toronto and Detroit; the Cavs surrendered a 22-point fourth-quarter lead in Game 1 at Madison Square Garden despite acquiring James Harden in February to bolster the roster.
- Donovan Mitchell scored 31 points in the loss but said 'We did this to ourselves' and 'We had an opportunity in Game 1 and we blew that,' while the Cavs shot just 28.9% from three-point range in the series.
- With the Knicks leading by 33 in the fourth quarter, Mitchell and Cleveland's other starters were benched; the 29-year-old watched a team he once cheered for as a kid win its 11th straight playoff game.
- Mitchell posted 'We took a step ahead this spring, but we are nowhere near where we need to be,' while the Cavs face offseason decisions on his potential $350 million extension, Harden's $42.3 million player option, and a potential LeBron James return.
