Knicks clinch No. 3 seed but still blow 23-point lead in loss to resting Cavaliers: ‘Got to get it fixed’
NY Post
The Knicks know their playoff opponent and know they have to play much better to beat them.
Tom Thibodeau’s squad backed into clinching the third seed while collapsing against the Cavaliers on Friday night, 108-102, securing a first-round showdown with the Pistons because of results elsewhere in the NBA.
With OG Anunoby, Mitchell Robinson and Josh Hart returning after one-game absences, the Knicks squandered a 23-point early lead to Cleveland, going cold with their shots while getting exposed by Darius Garland on defense.
The finish left Thibodeau peeved.
“We got to be honest with ourselves, look at what we did wrong,” the coach said. “We got to get it fixed. And we got to get it fixed fast.”
