The New York Knicks extended their advantage to 53-49 at halftime in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, showcasing resilience after a dramatic Game 1 comeback.
Key Factors in Knicks' Halftime Dominance
Karl-Anthony Towns' 13 first-half points proved pivotal, offsetting Jalen Brunson's limited output. Evan Mobley led Cleveland with 14 points, but the Cavaliers struggled to close gaps.
OG Anunoby's return from a hamstring injury added depth, with nine of his 13 points coming in Game 1's overtime.
His defensive versatility remains a key asset for the Knicks.
