📰 Cleveland's Supporting Cast Under Pressure
While Jalen Brunson rightfully grabs the headlines, the New York Knicks' 2-0 series lead over the Cavaliers is a testament to something even more sustainable: team depth . The Knicks aren't winning because of one player — they're winning because when the opponent loads up on Brunson, someone always steps up.
In Game 2, it was the Knicks' bench that made the difference. Four players scored in double figures off the bench, combining for 52 points — a devastating display of depth that Cleveland simply couldn't match.
