Knicks Start Mike Brown Era with 119-111 Win Over Cavaliers
The New York Knicks began their 2025-26 NBA season with a 119-111 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers at Madison Square Garden, marking the debut of new head coach Mike Brown. OG Anunoby led the Knicks with 24 points and 14 rebounds, while Jalen Brunson added 23 points and Karl-Anthony Towns contributed 19 points and 11 rebounds, showcasing a balanced and deep offensive effort. Despite a strong third-quarter surge by Donovan Mitchell, who scored 21 points in that period and finished with 31 points overall, the Cavaliers could not overcome the Knicks' resilience, especially after New York's decisive 14-0 run early in the fourth quarter. Both teams faced injury challenges, with the Knicks missing Mitchell Robinson and Josh Hart, while the Cavaliers played without Darius Garland, Max Strus, and De'Andre Hunter. Coach Brown's strategy emphasized rotation depth, using an 11-man rotation that kept players fresh and engaged, which was pivotal in maintaining the lead against a tough Cleveland comeback attempt. This win signals a promising start for the Knicks, who are looking to build on last season's Eastern Conference finals appearance under new leadership.
