The Knicks’ ability to shut down the Cavaliers has given them a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series heading into Game 4 on Sunday at the Garden.
But they have a 2-1 series lead because of how they have performed on defense, resembling how a Thibodeau-coached team is supposed to look this time of year.
Donovan Mitchell scored 38 points in Game 1, but was held to 39 combined points in the next two contests, with eight turnovers. Emerging young forward Evan Mobley has mostly been a non-factor on the offensive end, averaging 10.3 points. Friday night, Cleveland turned the ball over 21 times — a combined nine by the star-studded backcourt duo of Mitchell and Garland — leading to 28 Knicks points.The games at the Garden have gone decidedly in favor of the orange and blue.
