Cavaliers give Knicks Reality Check
Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports
The Knicks were cursing into the Wednesday night matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Derrick Rose was sidelined with a back injury for the Knicks. The Cavs didn't mess around by winning the game 126 to 94.
That game told the Knicks who they really are and also how dominate the Cavaliers can be. All of the starters were pulled by the middle of the fourth-quarter. The game was so bad that the Cavs starters on the bench played a bottle flipping game, and Santa Claus leaving the stands.
From a game perspective, Cleveland made 22 3 pointers. Lebron James had 25 points and 6 rebounds. Kyrie Irving had 28 points. Kevin Love had 21 points and 4 rebounds. Tristan Thompson was sensational on the glass with 20 rebounds ( 6 offensive).
Brandon Jennings had 16 points for the Knicks. Carmelo Anthony struggled by just scoring 8 points. These teams will play each other two more times this season.
