As the New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers get set for their first matchup of the season, Evan Mobley wanted to put the Knicks on notice.
On Halloween night, we will see a playoff rematch between the New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers for the first time this season. This was a fun playoff matchup in the Eastern Conference last season, as the Knicks were able to upset the Cavaliers and advance.
The Knicks winning in five games was a shocker to many, as the Cavaliers led by their star Donovan Mitchell were predicted by many to win the series. With both teams eying to be in the playoffs once again this season, this game will surely mean a lot for the Cavaliers, who are looking to make a statement and get some revenge.
Recently, Evan Mobley of the Cavaliers wanted to make sure he put the Knicks on notice before the matchup.
As seen by Mobley’s comments, the Cavaliers are going to be focused and ready for this game. The 4-1 series loss likely left a bad taste in their mouths, and they want to show New York that they are capable.
