New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers head-to-head record
The Cavaliers have definitely gotten the better of the Knicks in their previous five head-to-head meetings, winning four of them, including three resounding wins during the 2024–25 season alone. Particularly, the Cavaliers demonstrated their offensive power and capacity to overpower New York's defense by defeating the Knicks by 19 points on the third of April (124-105) and by an incredible 37 points on February 22nd (142-105). The Knicks did win in March 2024 (107–98), but Cleveland is now on a great winning streak, particularly given its league-best scoring average and effective shooting.
