The Cavs took care of the Sixers. Now comes a visit from the defending champion Knicks.
Fresh off Friday’s 119-95 win, the Cavs return to Rocket Arena on Saturday for their first meeting with the team that swept them in last season’s Eastern Conference finals. Here’s how to follow the action.
What time is Cavs vs. Knicks?
- Date: Saturday, Nov. 7
- Tipoff: 8 p.m. ET
- Location: Rocket Arena, Cleveland

What to watch for
For the Cavs, the assignment is to carry Friday’s ball movement and defensive effort into another matchup with an Eastern Conference contender.
Donovan Mitchell finished with 23 points, eight assists and seven rebounds against the Sixers, helping keep teammates involved despite a difficult night from beyond the arc. Evan Mobley added 22 points, while Mario Hezonja supplied 15 and Meleek Thomas scored 12.
The Knicks present another test of whether the Cavs can sustain that approach when the game gets uncomfortable.
