For the first time in a decade, the New York Knicks are headed to the Eastern Conference semifinals.
The Knicks closed out the Cleveland Cavaliers 106-95 on Wednesday night in Game 5 of their opening-round playoff series. The 11-point win at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse gave the Knicks the 4-1 series win, and officially marks the Knicks’ first playoff series win since 2013.
The Knicks then controlled the game most of the way on Wednesday. After bouncing back and forth through the opening minutes, the Knicks took a 10-point halftime lead behind 17 points from Jalen Brunson. While the Cavaliers cut it to just six points briefly in the fourth, the Knicks responded with a very lengthy 10-2 run before easily closing out the 11-point win.
