Jalen Brunson saves New York from a shocking Game 1 upset

Prior to the Game 1 match-up between the New York Knicks and the Cleveland Cavaliers, a lot of people felt like New York was going to jump all over the Cavs and head to the Finals. Welp, that was before tipoff, during the game, New York was out-played pretty much the entire game.

Donovan Mitchell was wheeling and dealing and had the Cavs up by 18 with seven minutes left in regulation. I do not know what was said in the huddle after Mike Brown took a much-needed timeout. After the timeout, Brunson went on a 16-2 run by himself to put the Knicks in position to win the game. Cleveland hit their last four shots within the last 30 ticks left in the game. Both teams missed their shots to close out the game and was forced to play OT.

In OT, New York took momentum and eventually went on a 12-6 run to finish the game and claim Game 1, 115-104. Brunson finished with 38 points.
