Jalen Brunson scored 30 points and Mikal Bridges added 22 as the New York Knicks beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 121-108 on Saturday, putting themselves one win away from their first NBA Finals since 1999. The Knicks have now won 10 straight playoff games, a streak that has them on the verge of sweeping the Eastern Conference Finals.

OG Anunoby led New York with 21 points while the Knicks shot 55.8 percent from the field, converting 11 threes and going 24 for 27 from the line. Cleveland's three-point shooting collapsed at 12 of 41, and despite 24 points from Evan Mobley, 23 from Donovan Mitchell, and 19 from James Harden, the Cavaliers could not contain New York's relentless pace.

Karl-Anthony Towns contributed 13 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists, telling reporters the Knicks need to execute at a high level in Monday's Game 4. The Knicks are the seventh team in NBA history to win at least 10 straight in the postseason, and their average margin of victory stands at 22.5 points.
