NEW YORK \u2014 The first playoff nemesis the Cavaliers<\/a> encountered during their Donovan Mitchell<\/a> era is the same one standing between Cleveland<\/a> and the 2026 NBA Finals.<\/p>\n\n

The Cavs and New York Knicks<\/a> will clash again in Game 1 of the best-of-seven Eastern Conference Finals<\/a> on Tuesday, May 19, at Madison Square Garden. Mitchell’s hometown Knicks<\/a> eliminated the all-star guard and the Cavs from the 2023 playoffs with a 4-1 series victory<\/a> in the first round. After recently beating the Detroit Pistons<\/a> in seven games in the Eastern Conference semifinals<\/a>, the Cavs are seeking retribution against the Knicks.<\/p>\n

Whichever team seizes the East’s crown will advance to face the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder or San Antonio Spurs for the NBA title. The Spurs lead that series 1-0<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tipoff for Game 1 between the fourth-seeded Cavs and third-seeded Knicks is scheduled for 8 p.m. Live score updates, highlights, analysis and stats will be here throughout the opener of the Eastern Conference Finals:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Knicks started slow offensively, but the Cavs couldn’t take advantage of it, and a Jalen Brunson bucket has given New York their first lead of the night at 14-13 with 3:46 left in the first quarter of Game 1.<\/p>\n\n

Brunson is up to eight points, a game high so far. Donovan Mitchell has seven points for the Cavs. If those two went toe-to-toe scoring wise, it’d make for a fun matchup.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Knicks might be showing some rust after more than week off after all.<\/p>\n

The Cavs opened the game on an 8-2 run and now lead 10-4 with 8:15 left in the first quarter. The Knicks have hit just two of their first eight shots from the floor as both offenses settle into the series.<\/p>\n
