Inside the NBA Conference Finals: Which Surprising Team Could Defy All Odds and Clash for the Championship?
Season Series: Knicks 2, Cavaliers 1
- Knicks’ Averages: 113.0 PPG, 45.0 RPG, 24.3 APG, 8.7 SPG, 43.6 FG%, 37.2 3-PT%
- Cavaliers’ Averages: 114.7 PPG, 40.3 RPG, 24.7 APG, 8.0 SPG, 47.1 FG%, 40.9 3-PT%
All of this may make it seem like the Cavaliers have the advantage, but remember, the Knicks have statistically been the better team on both sides of the ball – ranking second and fourth, respectively, in O-TRACR and D-TRACR, while the Cavaliers are seventh and 14th.
The Knicks are operating at the perfect frequency right now. On the flip side, the Cavs seem to be struggling to find a consistent tune. After winning three straight games to go up 3-2 on the Pistons, the Cavs followed up with an absolute stinker at home in Game 6. Mitchell, Harden and Co. can’t have those kinds of lapses against a Knicks team that is hungry to end their 53-year NBA championship drought.
