The New York Knicks defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers, 107-98, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Sunday night.

The Knicks (36-25) belied their road underdog status early by jumping out to a 28-19 lead through one despite losing Jalen Brunson to a knee injury just one minute into the game, but the Cavaliers (39-21) roared back in the second to erase their deficit altogether and take a two-point advantage into halftime. However, New York would turn the tide of what had been a rollercoaster contest for good in the third, when it outscored Cleveland by a 36-25 margin. The hosts then got as close as within three with 4:40 remaining, but the visitors' 8-2 run the rest of the way sealed the victory.

Donte DiVincenzo led the Knicks with 28 points, adding seven rebounds, four assists and three steals. Bojan Bogdanovic recorded 20 points, three rebounds, three assists and two steals. Miles McBride collected 16 points, five assists and one rebound. Precious Achiuwa turned in 14 points, four rebounds, three blocks and two steals. Josh Hart generated a 13-point, 18-rebound, 10-assist triple-double that included two steals and two blocks.

Sam Merrill paced the Cavaliers with 21 points, three rebounds and two assists. Darius Garland managed 19 points, five assists, four rebounds and two steals. Jarrett Allen supplied 18 points, seven boards, six assists, one steal and one block. Isaac Okoro tallied 17 points, five rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block. Evan Mobley finished with a 13-point, 13-rebound double-double that included six assists and one block.
