After Jalen Brunson repeatedly scored on James Harden in the Knicks’ 115-104 win in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Kenny Atkinson argued his veteran point guard was receiving too much blame.

NEW YORK — By the time the Cavs left Madison Square Garden late Wednesday afternoon, following a practice session that coach Kenny Atkinson characterized more like a “shootaround,” they had already turned the page on the Game 1 collapse.

The NBA’s Last 2 Minute Report added a new layer to the Cavaliers’ Game 1 collapse — and it came at a crucial moment late.

Game 1 between the New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers had everything expected from the Eastern Conference Finals. Star power, matchup hunting, tactical adjustments ... and a collapse Cleveland will be thinking about for a long time.

Donovan Mitchell shared what he told his Cavaliers teammates in the locker room after a disappointing Game 1 loss to the Knicks.

The Knicks trailed the Cavs 93-71 with 7:44 remaining in the fourth quarter in Game 1 of the ECF. Somehow, New York erased the 22-point deficit and won 115-104 in overtime.
