"textContent": "Can you call a team that has advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals \"unserious\"? I'm honestly not sure, but it's very difficult to find another descriptor for the Cleveland Cavaliers the morning after they blew a 22-point fourth-quarter lead in Game 1 against the Knicks. It's not just that they blew it, but how they blew it.\n\nThe Knicks won Tuesday's game in overtime, 115-104, while playing about 16 total minutes of good basketball. Both teams started terribly, but New York led 23-16 after the first quarter. From that point until the 7:39 mark of the fourth quarter, the Cavs outscored the Knicks, 77-48. I can see you doing some quick math in your head, and yes, it's true: That means that for the rest of the game, the Cavs got beat 44-11.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zg2MDj-I1vc",
