JBB knew we needed this win and he was pulling out all the stops. He played Garland all but the final 33 seconds of the third quarter and then started him in the 4th until the game was effectively over.
Nice defense in the second half holding the Knicks to only 41 points. Barnett ended up 4-for-18 from the field - he averaged 24 points per game in March.
Moses Brown continues to make a case for being in the plans for next year with 16 points and 13 rebounds in 30 minutes. LeVert continues to get comfortable with a line of 19/6/6, including some tough buckets where he had to make something out of nothing with the clock expiring.
Garland had another good game with 24 points and 13 assists but he continues to struggle on the corner 3's, missing two more wide open ones today. Okoro had a quietly efficient game going 7-for-8 from the field for 16 points.
The Cavs committed only 9 turnovers and limited the Knicks to 6 offensive rebounds. The Cavs had 26 assists. Very nice numbers against a team that came in 8th in scoring defense.
Goodwin was a -8 in 10 minutes. He's getting to be unplayable. Is Rondo anywhere close to getting back?
