The Knicks moved to a 2-0 series lead after scoring another win in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals. However, on Saturday, the series shifts to Cleveland, a place the Cavaliers have been very good throughout the playoffs.
Cleveland fans are sure to be rabid, and Cavaliers players will feel a lot of pressure to avoid a 3-0 series deficit. If there were one game the Cavs were sure to win, Game 3 would be it. Prediction: Cavaliers 117, Knicks 109
