2023 Playoffs Game Thread – Knicks @ Cavaliers, Game 1

The Knicks head to Cleveland to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers in a series the Knicks can’t possibly win. Julius Randle was listed as questionable, but it was always obvious that he would return to play in this game, and sure enough, that’s what will happen.
