Stephen A. Smith was left in sheer awe following the New York Knicks’ thrilling Game 4 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday.
The Knicks had multiple keen contributors across the board in their 102-93 victory on the day, including Jalen Brunson. On the heels of three straight 20-plus point outings to open up the series, Brunson led the way for the Knicks with 29 points to go along with six assists. On the other hand, R.J. Barrett put together a sound performance against Cleveland, scoring 26 points on 50 percent shooting.
The Knicks managed to build a 15-point lead in the contest, and while the Cavaliers made it quite interesting in the second half, Brunson and company held on to move one step closer to clinching a spot in the Eastern Conference semifinal round
Smith, who is a longtime Knicks fan, was amazed by the play of the likes of Brunson and Barrett against the Cavaliers.
“I love everybody,” Smith said following the Knicks’ Game 4 win. “I love R.J. Barrett for showing up again. I love Jalen Brunson for showing up again.
“I love the Knicks defense for holding Donovan Mitchell to two points in the second half on 1-for-9 shooting. And I love Tom Thibodeau for benching Julius Randle because that’s what needed to happen.”
