The New York Knicks hold a 1-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals after rallying from a 22-point fourth-quarter deficit for a 115-104 overtime victory in Game 1 on May 19 at Madison Square Garden, where Jalen Brunson scored 38 points. Cleveland’s late collapse and cold shooting handed the Knicks momentum heading into Game 2 on May 21, also at home. Both teams enter with strong recent form—Knicks at 23-23 and Cavaliers at 16-32 in the standings context—but New York’s defensive efficiency and home-court edge stand out. Key variables include Donovan Mitchell’s scoring output, Cleveland’s rebounding, and any adjustments to the Knicks’ rotation following the grueling comeback. Historical playoff patterns favor teams that win Game 1 in a best-of-seven series at this stage.
