OG Anunoby had 24 points and 14 rebounds, Jalen Brunson scored 23 points and the New York Knicks beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 119-111 in their first game under coach Mike Brown.

After falling to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, the New York Knicks parted ways with head coach Tom Thibodeau. In his place, the franchise hired veteran Mike Brown to lead the squad to the NBA Finals with aspirations for its first title since 1973.

Brown is now in a head coaching position with his fourth NBA franchise. Here's a look back on the new Knicks HC's career, including why he was fired from previous roles.

Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison surprised the sports world when he traded Luka Dončić last season. Then he shockingly ended up with the No. 1 pick in this year's draft, which landed him Cooper Flagg, the youngest draftee to go first overall since LeBron James in 2003.

In what could be an Eastern Conference Finals preview, the Cavaliers will begin the 2025-26 NBA regular season on Oct. 22 against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. The Cavs are coming off their second-best regular season in franchise history.
