The Knicks continue to hold a psychological advantage following their Eastern Conference Finals sweep, and they look to extend that dominance despite playing on the second night of a back-to-back. Cleveland must overcome a thin frontcourt rotation against Karl-Anthony Towns to keep pace in this clash of styles. Expect New York to dictate a slower, physical half-court tempo that contrasts sharply with the high-volume perimeter rhythm the Cavaliers prefer.
