Kenny Atkinson after the Cavs get blown out by 37 points we took a step mentally

SNY Kenny Atkinson said losing the Game 6s in the previous rounds hurt the Cavaliers We win those Game 6s we beat the Knicks - I'm not saying that but I think it gives us a better chance But the density of the frequency of the games played a part in it

Mitch Johnson We werent ready to win an NBA championship The better team won We did a lot of good things and we didnt finish the job That's what it is
