Mitchell not surprised by strong Knicks fan presence in Cleveland

As the New York Knicks showed dominance on and off the court, the Cleveland Cavaliers fell short in a much needed win in Game 3.

The Knicks took over two games with a homecourt advantage, but proved that they could win on the road, and New York fans were still all over in Rocket Arena.

Donovan Mitchell, who finished 23 points and 4 assists, said he was not surprised by the large Knicks fan presence in Cleveland, noting that he used to be one of them.

“I’m from New York. This doesn’t shock me. They do it in every arena. It’s like Cowboys fans … It’s how Knicks fans are. I was one back in the day,” Mitchell said.

The Cavaliers look forward to Game 4 on Monday.
