The New York Knicks dominated Cleveland 121-108, taking a commanding 3-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference finals. Jalen Brunson led the charge with 30 points, while Mikal Bridges added 22 and OG Anunoby contributed 21. New York shot 43-of-77 from the field and led the entire game, positioning themselves one victory away from their first NBA Finals appearance since 1999.

New York's playoff dominance continues with a 10-game winning streak, becoming the seventh NBA team to achieve this feat. The Knicks boast a staggering plus-225 point differential over their last 10 games, the largest in NBA history across both regular season and playoffs. Their efficiency from the foul line (24-of-27) and consistent scoring have overwhelmed Cleveland's defense throughout the series.

Donovan Mitchell scored 23 points and James Harden added 21 for Cleveland, but their efforts couldn't overcome New York's balanced attack. The Cavaliers struggled from beyond the arc, shooting just 12-of-41 on 3-pointers. With Game 4 scheduled for Monday, the Knicks can wrap up their second straight series sweep and advance to the NBA Finals for the first time in 27 years.
