The Cleveland Cavaliers won’t have much time off after defeating the Philadelphia 76ers last night. They’ll be welcoming the New York Knicks to town for a rematch of the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Knicks have gotten off to a slow start this season. They’ve struggled to close out games, with all four of their losses being decided by single digits. They’re also just 1-3 against teams that have a winning record so far, with their lone victory coming against the Detroit Pistons.

The Knicks have many of the same players from their title run, but they haven’t been able to recapture that magic so far this season. We’ll see if the Cavs can take advantage of that in their first meeting of this campaign.
