The New York Knicks cruised to a 105-91 win over the depleted Sixers on Tuesday, and they did so without Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson. As soon as the game ended, the Knicks hopped on a plane to Cleveland for the second half of a back-to-back game against the Cavaliers.
New York is 0-2 against Cleveland this season, with the most recent loss being on Feb. 21. The Cavaliers dominated the Knicks, 142-105. Both Brunson (26 points) and Towns (23 points) played in that game. The former will miss Wednesday's game (his 14th missed game since spraining his ankle on March 6), while the latter's status is uncertain.
Wednesday's matchup will be the second-to-last time New York plays Cleveland this season, with the final regular-season matchup scheduled for Friday, April 11, at MSG.
