The Knicks made an incredible comeback against the Cavaliers, after being down by 22 points in the fourth quarter.

With 7 minutes and 52 seconds remaining, Cleveland had a comfortable lead of 93-71, but Jalen Brunson started an impressive rally, attacking James Harden and contributing to a run of 18-1. Brunson tied the game at 101 with a successful shot in the last 19 seconds. In overtime, the Knicks started strong, with a run of 9-0, and the fans at Madison Square Garden created an electrifying atmosphere.

This victory brings the Knicks just three wins away from their first qualification in the NBA Finals. The Knicks thus become only the second team in the last 30 seasons to win after being down by at least 22 points in the fourth quarter. Jalen Brunson was the hero of the team, with 38 points, supported by Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby. Donovan Mitchell was the top scorer for the Cavaliers, with 29 points.
