The Cavs know they needed to be better against the Knicks. Donovan Mitchell also knows there’s a difference between a disappointing November night and a season slipping away. “No excuse. These are games that we feel like we should win,”…

Donovan Mitchell urged perspective after the Cleveland Cavaliers fell 109-97 at home against the New York Knicks, emphasizing that nothing is decided early in the season. Despite Mitchell scoring 37 points, including 21 in the fourth quarter, the loss moved Cleveland to a 5-5 record on the season.
The Cavaliers were playing without Jarrett Allen, Sam Merrill, and Jaylon Tyson on the second night of a back-to-back set. Head coach Kenny Atkinson commended his team's effort for battling back from an 18-point deficit, while Mitchell pointed to a 26-8 disadvantage in second-chance points as a key factor in the defeat.
