If the Cavs wind up losing the Eastern Conference Finals to the Knicks, they might look back at their Game 1 meltdown as the impetus for a significant offseason move.

The Knicks host the Cavaliers Tuesday in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks went 2-1 over the Cavaliers in the regular season.

The Cleveland Cavaliers dominated the top-seeded Pistons in Detroit in Game 7 of their playoff series and will meet the New York Knicks next.
