The Knicks have a record of 2 wins and 2 losses, they can't play in the playoffs, they still can't beat in the regular season, I have to say that the Knicks are really the nemesis of the Cavaliers. In terms of statistics, Brunson had 19 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 turnovers, shooting 7-of-14 with extremely high efficiency, and beat the opposite Tanhua Mobley.
In the previous game against the Hawks, Brunson had a blast of 31 points, and 8 of 12 three-pointers, the Mavericks are really blind, such a good superstar doesn't want it, Brunson has been improving, as a comparison, Irving has not played well since coming to the Mavericks, and this season has continued to be sluggish, if Brunson is not let go, Doncic may not even be able to get a play-in spot last season. Randle had an excellent 19 points and 10 rebounds, and Barrett had a remarkable 16 points and three rebounds.
Robinson had 8 points and 7 rebounds, Harten had 13 points, 7 rebounds and 2 steals, Warriors veteran DiVincenzo had 3 points and 6 assists, and Quickley had 18 points and 3 rebounds. Cavaliers data, Mitchell 26 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, but unfortunately it was empty, Okoro 11 points and 7 rebounds, Mobley was sluggish, only 6 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists, Strus 6 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, Niang 11 points and 3 rebounds. The Cavaliers performed disappointingly last season, although Mitchell has excellent scoring ability, but he also has too many shortcomings, such as instability, easy to drop the chain in the playoffs, and then the defense is too bad, and the ceiling is probably at most All-Star level.
