And Charles Barkley pointed to a lack of “effort,” and how the team “quit” in the first half of Game 4 as a major reason why.
Facing elimination at home against the Knicks in Game 4, the Cavaliers were on the wrong end of a 20-0 run from the Knicks, as New York built a 68-49 halftime lead. And during the halftime show, Barkley “requested special time” to address what he saw in the first half:
After Barkley provided the definition of quit — which included a notation to “see also: Cavaliers in Game 4 vs. Knicks” — the show aired several clips from the first half of Knicks players beating Cleveland defenders back down the court for fast-break points.

“This is just effort here,” began Barkley as the montage of Knicks players rolling up fast-break points aired during the halftime break.
“Players ain’t gonna say they’re gonna quit, but you know what shows? Their actions,” continued Barkley.
By the time Game 4 drew to a close, New York had outrebounded Cleveland 60-33, and had scored 33 fast-break points, compared to just nine for Cleveland.
And those watching at home were treated to a vocabulary lesson, courtesy of Charles Barkley.
