Knicks mount historic 22 points comeback to surprise Cavs overtime

New York Knicks beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 115-104 in overtime in Game of the NBA Eastern Conference finals.

Jalen Brunson remarkably scored 38 points as the New York Knicks beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 115-104 in overtime in Game of the NBA Eastern Conference finals.

On Tuesday, the Knicks seemed exhausted when they tailed 93-71 with 7:52 left in regulation time. On the other hand, Brunson championed an 18-1 run and banked in a floater to tie at 101-101 with 19.3 seconds left in regulation.

I don’t have an answer for you,” he told broadcaster ESPN.

“We got some stops. We kept fighting, kept believing, just kept chipping away. They were playing great basketball, and we just found a way.

It has been observed that Mikal Bridges added 18 points, and Annunoby came back from a two-game injury absence. Donovan Mitchell scored 29 points to lead the Cavaliers, and James Harden incredibly added 15. 

At present, the Knicks still have a chance to magnify their lead in the best-of seven series when they host a game on Thursday.

The Spurs, triggered by a 41-point performance by Victor Wembanyama, beat the Thunder in double overtime in game one of the Western Conference finals. 

It is pertinent to note that this is for the first time in NBA history that the first games in both conference championships were determined in extra time.
