00:00Cleveland Cavaliers last night at home when there's a four of their last five
00:03after an uncharacteristic four-game skid about two weeks ago. Booked as a
00:09double-digit home favorite against the Jalen Brunson-Less New York Knicks who
00:13have struggled against the top competition this season in general. New
00:17York jumps out to a 15-point lead midway through the second quarter. They led by
00:22seven at the break only for the Cavaliers to rally in the second half to
00:28win by 19 points 124-105 and still find their way to a cover as a ten-and-a-half
00:35point home favorite. The Cavaliers back on track they have won five of their
00:40last six extending their lead for that one spot in the Eastern Conference now
00:45to five games over the Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks. DRS Jalen
00:49Brunson in the lineup or not continue to mightily struggle against the best
00:54competition in their own side of the Association. New York now 0-3
00:58against Cleveland, 0-3 against Boston, 0-6 straight up and against the
01:03number against both the Seas and the Cavs this season. Yeah Jalen Brunson with
01:08the longest you know recovery time in the history of professional sports with
01:12an ankle injury where they tell us we don't want him at 99.8 we want him at
01:15full a hundred percent and you're right about this like and what we watch the
01:19football like down the stretch in December there are meaningless games
