The Spice Bag, our viral Irish street food,  has become the go-to order when the fourth quarter hits. The walk back to Penn Station after is two minutes flat.

The Series: Knicks vs. Cavaliers

The Knicks have dominated their opponents through the first two rounds, with seven of their eight playoff wins coming by double figures. The Cavaliers have had a much harder path,  needing seven games to eliminate both the Toronto Raptors and the top-seeded Detroit Pistons. 

Cleveland enters with 48 hours of rest after Sunday's Game 7 road win at Detroit, while the Knicks have had nine days off since sweeping Philadelphia. New York's starters have played 309 minutes this postseason. Cleveland's have played 460. 

The Knicks have home court and open the series with two games at MSG.
