New York is the seventh team in NBA history to win at least 10 games in a row during a postseason. The last team to do so was the Boston Celtics, who also had a 10-game streak en route to the 2024 title.
All but one of the Knicks' wins have been by double digits, with an average margin of victory of 22.5 points.
Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell finished with 23 points in 38 minutes, while teammate James Harden added 21. Cleveland was 12 of 41 from the three-point line and 12 of 19 from the foul line.
