The Knicks host the Cavaliers for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals tonight at Madison Square Garden, where New York’s home-court advantage and defensive identity could set the tone for the best-of-seven series. Cleveland arrives after a decisive Game 7 road win over Detroit, buoyed by Donovan Mitchell’s scoring and the addition of James Harden, whose playmaking has helped the Cavaliers maintain offensive firepower despite a shorter turnaround. New York counters with Jalen Brunson’s playoff experience, Karl-Anthony Towns’ interior presence, and a roster that has emphasized physicality and rebounding in recent matchups. Historical regular-season results, including Cleveland’s February victory, provide limited guidance for this postseason setting, where rest, adjustments, and execution under pressure typically prove decisive.
