Knicks pull off 2023 NBA season first during Game 3 win over Cavaliers

The New York Knicks returned home for Game 3 of their NBA playoff series against the Cleveland Cavaliers and put forth an old-school performance.

The Knicks allowed just 79 points on Friday, the fewest points allowed in an NBA game this season.

In today’s NBA, with both teams regularly scoring in the 100’s as three-pointers rain down, New York became the first team in either the playoffs or the NBA’s regular season to hold a team under 80 points.
