“the Knicks’ 121-108 Game 3 win over the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference finals on Saturday night in Cleveland”
DISPUTED
Web search results provide contradictory information: one result mentions a 121-108 win, but others report a score of 99-79 in Game 3 of the 1st Round. Additionally, the 121-108 result is listed in a log that mentions a 'Game 3 win over Spurs in West finals' on May 23, 2026, suggesting the data is inconsistent or referring to different events.
