The Knicks defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 5 on Wednesday, 106-95, to win their series, 4-1. It's also just their second series victory since 2000.

New York led by as many as 18 in the third quarter, but Cleveland cut it to a six-point deficit with just over eight minutes to go, but that's as close as they got.

New York responded with a 6-0 run to get back up a dozen, and by the time Cleveland cut it to single digits again, it was too late.
