Teh article says that on Tuesday night the New York Knicks made a major comeback to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. It explains that, during sports discussion on Wednesday, many hosts and pundits focused on whether the result was a Knicks win or a Cavs collapse-and how it might also relate to President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

It then criticizes former ESPN commentator Max Kellerman, who-while talking about the cavaliers\u2019 star James Harden-made a political comparison, saying bringing in Harden to win a championship was like electing Donald Trump to fix the country. The piece notes that people on social media reacted negatively<\/a> to the comment, arguing that sports should be separate from politics.<\/p>\n

After calling out Kellerman for the political angle, the article returns to the basketball: it describes how Cleveland led by 22 late in regulation, but the Knicks took over defensively (especially against harden) and then dominated overtime, winning 115-104. It also claims this comeback was historically important for the knicks and among the largest in recent NBA playoff history. <\/p>\n
