What happened: New York carried an 18-point lead into the fourth quarter before withstanding a late Cleveland rally. Donovan Mitchell cut the deficit to 102-92 with a 3-pointer with 3:15 remaining, but the Knicks held on down the stretch.

Why it matters: The victory moves New York over .500 at 5-4, marking their fifth win in six games since securing their first win of the season against Detroit. Cleveland dropped to 5-5 after shooting 40 percent from the field through the first three quarters.

What to watch: The Knicks continue their road schedule aiming to extend their recent momentum. Cleveland looks to regroup at home and push back above the .500 mark.
