Why the Cavs' first-quarter energy could be the smart play against a potentially rusty Knicks squad

If you missed the game last night between the Spurs and Thunder, I feel sorry for you. There have been some reasonable complaints about the games, and some overblown, but last night was good, fun basketball. There was greatness from Victor Wembanyama, surprising performances from Alex Caruso and so much more. The Cavs and Knicks have a lot of work to do if they want to match the double-overtime performance from last night.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are probably tired. This is the 15th playoff game the team will have played.
