With a chance to flip the momentum of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Cleveland Cavaliers failed to protect home court, unable to match the New York Knicks' offensive firepower in a 121-108 loss in Game 3. 

Now, the Cavs have a 3-0 hole to climb out of against a group that is clicking on all cylinders and doesn't intend to look back. Game 4 on Monday will determine whether or not the Wine and Gold's postseason continues or goes out with a whimper.

Spencer German and Spencer Davies dove into what the Knicks have done to keep the Cavs searching for solutions in a brand new edition of Courtside with Cavs.

Topics of the latest show include the following:

- After back-to-back seven-game series, Cleveland's gas tank is just about empty. It's obvious, judging by the team's shooting slump beyond the arc and at the free-throw line. It's also apparent in looking at the incredible discrepancy in transition compared to the Knicks. As Donovan Mitchell and Jarrett Allen described it, nobody is to blame but themselves as a collective for being in this fatigued position. 

- Speaking of laboring, Mitchell had to work for every bucket he got on Saturday night. Even the ones he got to go down required extra energy to get by and create enough space for mid-rangers and floaters. Landry Shamet and Deuce McBride have given him a heck of a time.

- Turnovers once again proved to be the dagger in the heart, as each of Mitchell, James Harden, and Evan Mobley combined for 15 miscues. Credit must go to New York's anticipation skills and active hands, which have allowed them to get odd-man rushes with a head start on fast breaks.

- Jalen Brunson has been a terrific player this series, leading the Knicks' attack that is literally on historic levels over the last 10 playoff games they've played. Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby deserve a ton of praise as well with how they're guarding the Cavs' stars and playing the middle on both ends.

- Cleveland head coach Kenny Atkinson stated that the mindset has to be one game at a time in order for this series to advance. The guys agree with that mindset. Will there be any lineup changes? Will his rotation be more extended than usual in a win-or-go-home scenario?
