Spectacle and history in the NBA playoffs, where the New York Knicks pulled off one of the most incredible upsets in recent years. At Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, the New York team triumphed 115-104 over the Cleveland Cavaliers after overtime, taking a 1-0 series lead.
With less than eight minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Knicks were down by 22 points and the game seemed to be over. But everything changed thanks to a spectacular comeback led by Jalen Brunson. The New York star scored 38 points and was the absolute protagonist of the decisive 44-11 run that overturned the challenge.
Cleveland lost control in the decisive moments, as Donovan Mitchell, the author of 29 points, almost completely stopped in the end of the game and in overtime. James Harden added 15 points, but he could not prevent the Cavaliers from falling in the face of the energy and aggression of the visiting team.
For New York, this was their eighth consecutive victory in these playoffs, a historic success that confirms the Knicks' fantastic form and gives the team a very important advantage at the start of the series.
