The Knicks downed the Cavaliers in Game 5 on Wednesday night to advance to the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs for the first time since 2013.
New York won the opener at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, overpowered the Cavs twice at noisy Madison Square Garden and then returned to Cleveland to finish the job. The fifth-seeded Knicks will meet the Miami-Milwaukee winner next.
Brunson averaged 24 points in the series and led New York in scoring all four wins while outplaying Mitchell for the second straight postseason. Last year, Brunson was with Dallas when he got the best of Mitchell. A bigger issue, though, seemed to be Cleveland's toughness. The Cavs got pushed around and outrebounded in all four losses, including 48-30 in the clincher.
Cleveland hoped to recapture some of its 2016 magic and overcome a 3-1 deficit like LeBron James and the Cavs did in the NBA Finals to shock Golden State. But Brunson, Barrett and the rest of the Knicks had other plans.The All-Star forward left late in the second quarter after aggravating a sprained left ankle and didn't return. Obi Toppin started in his place and scored 12 points in the third quarter as the Knicks opened an 18-point lead.
