Di New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers dey fight for Game 3 of di Eastern Conference finals tonight for Rocket Arena. Di score dey tight for di second quarter as both teams dey struggle for control.
Q2 5:09 show Knicks 50, Cavaliers 48. Donovan Mitchell dey back for Cavaliers bench. Di Knicks need halftime to come. Cavs get all di momentum and energy. New York’s offense dey stall small and Cavs no dey get plenty trouble for scoring.
Q2 5:38, James Harden scampers to di rim for layup. Cavaliers tie game at 48 apiece.
Q2 6:42, broadcast show Donovan Mitchell dey limp to di locker room. No ideal for di Cavaliers. Browns GM Andrew Berry and coach Todd Monken dey here tonight, wey mean say Monken fit meet Taylor Swift before e meet Myles Garrett. Monken wey dem hire four months ago still never meet di best player for di team. Richard Jefferson dey call Taylor Swift as “Travis Kelce’s girlfriend” every time dem show her for screen, wey dey entertain.
Jaylon Tyson, one of di last All-Pac 12 players before realignment put Cal for ACC. Di Cleveland Cavaliers be di only team for pro sports wey get two mascots—dem get dog and Cavalier dey run around. Jaylon Tyson fall out of favor after e let emotions get di best of am against Pistons. But di Cavs really need im energy and activity now.
Q2 7:31, Knicks 43, Cavaliers 38. Jaylon Tyson with tremendous speed drive to di rim. E fling ball by Robinson, draw foul and convert basket for di “and 1”. Tyson complete di three-point play. Knicks lead dey only four. Dat Jaylon Tyson finish be di craziest make I ever see.
Q2 8:43, Knicks 43, Cavaliers 34. Tough shot from Mikal Bridges. Instead of going to rim, Bridges attempt fadeaway jumper wey e knock in. Bridges dey 4-for-4 from field. Di Knicks go back up nine with almost eight minutes left for first half. Never great to throw pass off your big man’s face. Karl-Anthony Towns, wey dey really good to start dis game, just pick up im second foul with 9:29 left for second quarter. Di Cavs go dey shoot free throws di rest of half. Dat fit no bad for New York because Cleveland hate making free throws. Josh Hart just get Evan Mobley for pump fake and drive past am for layup. Dat’s what making bunch of 3s for Game 2 go do for you. Karl-Anthony Towns dey grumpy for im between-quarter interview, noting how di Knicks give up 27 points and get to play even harder to put di Cavaliers away. “Some people never happy,” Mike Breen say. Richard Jefferson praise Towns and point out dis no be time to be happy.
Q2 10:30, Knicks 37, Cavaliers 31. Tough shot from Donovan Mitchell. E follow up with Evan Mobley slam dunk. Good start for di Cavs for di second quarter. Di game dey hot as di Knicks dey try hold di lead.
