The New York Knicks are one win away from their first NBA Finals appearance since 1999 after beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 121-108 in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Saturday night.
The victory at Rocket Arena gives New York a commanding 3-0 series lead, pushing Cleveland to the edge of elimination. The Knicks also extended their current postseason winning streak to 10 games, which is the longest playoff run since the Boston Celtics in 2024.
Jalen Brunson drove the offense for New York. He finished with 30 points and six assists. Mikal Bridges added 22 points, and OG Anunoby contributed 21 points to the road win. Donovan Mitchell led the Cavaliers with 23 points, while James Harden chipped in 21 points.
New York maintained control throughout the game, but the contest broke completely open in the fourth quarter. Landry Shamet hit three consecutive 3-pointers within a 99-second span to officially put the game out of reach. This late shooting barrage sealed the 121-108 Game 3 victory and kept their historic streak alive.
