Cavs clinch Central Division title with win over Knicks; three takeaways

NEW YORK– After the Cavaliers traded Kyrie Irving this summer, it was almost unthinkable that they would be able to tie their record from last season.

It became even more unthinkable as the season went on, the injuries tallied up and the Cavs traded half their roster at the trade deadline.
