In a similar fashion to the opener of the series the young Cavs got a taste of the postseason Mecca for the first time and it definitely appeared they were shellshocked.

Free Cleveland Cavaliers vs. New York Knicks NBA Prediction:
Expect the Cavs youngsters to be better prepared for Game 4, but by the same token fans at MSG will be even louder. The concern for J.B. Bickerstaff is Randle (3 of 15) should be expected to have a bounce-back effort in Game 4.
Donovan Mitchell was born in New York so the other thing to keep an eye on is Thibs putting double-teams on him because the star will want to make an impression at home and he’s less likely to rely on Garland as he did in Game 2.
Most concerning for Cleveland is the reserve unit which was outscored 39 to 14.
Frequent readers know I haven’t bought into the Cavs all season and while the Knicks also have shortcomings I like them to take a stranglehold on the series.
