Summary
The Cleveland Cavaliers were swept by the New York Knicks in the NBA playoffs, with James Harden scoring 12 points and missing all six three-point attempts in the final game. Harden refused to accept that the Knicks were the better team, citing the circumstances of the series. The Cavaliers only managed to score over 100 points twice in the series and were dominated by the Knicks.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Harden’s excuses were as weak as his shooting. The Cavaliers’ effort was lacking, and their best chance at winning was constantly slipping away.
The series was over before it started, with the Knicks dominating from the get-go.
The Cavaliers’ poor performance was a result of their own doing, not a fluke.
This one felt recognizable early, with the Cavaliers never really challenging the Knicks.
Harden’s words rang hollow, as his team failed to show up.
