Balanced Knicks top Cavaliers after Mitchell surge | JQJO

Donovan Mitchell’s 21-point third quarter hushed Madison Square Garden, but the Knicks answered with a 14-2 burst to open the fourth and closed a 119-111 win over the Cavaliers. New York’s balance and bite told: five scored in double figures, led by OG Anunoby’s 24 and Jalen Brunson’s 23, with Karl-Anthony Towns adding 19 and Mikal Bridges 16. Bridges’ hustle set the tone as the Knicks dominated the glass 46-32, logged 22 assists, and got 35 bench points. Mitchell had just two in the fourth, and Mike Brown passed his first Knicks test with flying colors.
