Knicks vs Cavaliers NBA Playoffs Game 3 schedule: Date, time, live stream, and more

The New York Knicks will look to extend their franchise-record playoff winning streak to 10 games when they face the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Saturday night at Rocket Arena. New York holds a commanding 2-0 series lead after dominating the first two games in Madison Square Garden, including a decisive 109-93 victory in Game 2 on Thursday. 

For the Cavaliers, the task is clear: find a way to slow down the Knicks’ momentum and avoid falling into a 3-0 hole. Cleveland has shown resilience earlier in the playoffs, rallying from a 2-0 deficit against the Detroit Pistons, but they have struggled to contain New York’s physicality and depth so far. 

Donovan Mitchell remains the offensive focal point, and Evan Mobley will need to make a major impact on the boards and defensively if the Cavs hope to shift the series. Meanwhile, here is when and where to catch the Knicks vs. Cavaliers Game 3 live.
