Darius Garland delivered a stellar performance in the fourth quarter, scoring 13 points to help the Cleveland Cavaliers execute a remarkable comeback against the New York Knicks, overcoming a staggering 23-point deficit to secure a 108-102 victory. This win, however, came too late for the Knicks, who had already clinched the third seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs earlier in the day, thanks to the Indiana Pacers' loss to the Orlando Magic.

Garland ended the game with 26 points, leading a Cavaliers squad that had already locked in the No. 1 seed in the East. With key players like Donovan Mitchell sidelined due to injury, other Cavs stepped up, including Jarrett Allen with a double-double of 11 points and 13 rebounds and Max Strus adding 19 points. The Knicks' Jalen Brunson led his team with 27 points, but their 1-11 record against top teams, including the Cavaliers, raises concerns as they prepare for their playoff matchup against the Detroit Pistons.
