Knicks take 3-0 lead over Cavaliers in Eastern Conference finals

The New York Knicks took a 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals on Saturday with a 121-108 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Jalen Brunson scored 30 points and Mikal Bridges added 22 as New York never trailed in Game 3 at Rocket Arena. The Knicks are the seventh team in NBA history to win at least 10 straight games during a postseason run.

All but one of New York’s wins in the streak have come by double digits, with an average margin of 22.5 points.

Donovan Mitchell scored 23 points for Cleveland and James Harden added 21. The Cavaliers shot 12 of 41 from three-point range.

Cleveland tied the game at 50 on a jumper by Harden, but the Knicks answered with a 10-1 run and led 60-54 at halftime. They led 91-82 after three quarters.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attended the game. Kelce, who recently signed a three-year, $54 million contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, wore a team cap and wine-and-gold shirt that drew cheers from the crowd when the couple appeared on the scoreboard.

Game 4 is Monday night in Cleveland. If necessary, Game 5 returns to Madison Square Garden on Wednesday.

In the Western Conference, the San Antonio Spurs host the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 4 on Sunday. Oklahoma City leads the series 2-1.
