Live NBA Playoffs and score updates

The Knicks will head home to a 1-1 draw after falling 107-90 to the Cavs in the second game.

A 17-point deficit doesn’t quite tell the whole story as the Knicks trailed by more than 20 points in the second half, struggling to come up with runs — or stop Cleveland from making their own shots.

Everyone’s back in business on Friday, when the series moves to The Garden hopefully a little friendlier to Knicks.

Julius Randle hit the ground hard after being fouled by Jarrett Allen as Randle advanced for a dunk in the closing minutes of Game 2.

Allen was hit hard, sending Randle to the line, though it begs the question: With the Cleveland 20 ahead, why is the Knicks star (among others) still in the game?

Cameras caught Allen pleading his case that it was a “hustle,” though no one should have been involved in the situation anyway.

With the Cavs leading 103-76 and just over three minutes down, it might be time for both sides to put in the subs.

It’s 82-60 in favor of the Cavs after three quarters and the Knicks haven’t found answers anywhere tonight.

It’s just five of 22 of three and 20 of 61 overall.

Crazier things have happened in a quarter, but the Knicks seem destined to go home with a series split.

The Knicks ended up on the bad side of the history books with that first half.

Ben Stiller, aka Rabbi Jack SchrammNix hasn’t given up yet.

While things are going, ehm… rough… in Cleveland, it’s a much different story in the Big Apple, where the Rangers lead the Devils 3-0 going into their first-round opener.

Maybe the Rangers can lend the Knicks a few points.

The half wasn’t close enough for the Knicks, who were on the wrong end with a score of 59-39 in Cleveland.

The Cavaliers crowd can’t seem to make it any easier:

Darius Garland has a career-high 26 for the Cavs on 6-of-10 shooting, while leading 14 for Gillen Bronson on the Knicks. Julius Randle has reached 12, but the Knicks are going to need more of him if they’re going to get out of this.

With the Knicks trying to emerge from a double-digit deficit, Julius Randle caught Jalen Bronson in the eye with his errant arm.

To make matters worse, the Knicks have racked up 10 turnovers so far.

It’s 50-35 Cavs now, and it’s turning ugly.

The first few minutes of the second quarter saw the Knicks lead 33-24, and it didn’t go well for the Knicks:
