The offensive consistency from New York throughout these playoffs has been extremely difficult to ignore.

The Knicks already cleared this team total in both opening games of the series against Cleveland, scoring 115 points in Game 1 and 109 in Game 2 despite Cleveland attempting to slow the pace defensively.

That trend stretches much further back than just this series.

New York also scored well above this number throughout previous playoff rounds against both Philadelphia and Atlanta, including offensive performances of 144, 140, 137, 126 and 114 points.

The overall pace of this matchup could also help offensively once again.

Cleveland now return home trailing 0-2 in the series, which could force the Cavaliers to play with more urgency offensively rather than turning Game 3 into another slow-paced defensive battle.

That could create more transition opportunities and faster possessions overall, something that generally suits New York’s offense.

Right now, very few teams have managed to fully slow New York down offensively in these NBA playoffs.

Considering their scoring consistency throughout the postseason and the likely pace increase from Cleveland at home, New York once again look capable of clearing this team total line.
