The Cleveland Cavaliers and the New York Knicks locked horns for Game 2 of their first-round matchup. So far, it has been a physical series between the two sides.
But no one expected to see friendly fire between Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson. Yes, Randle mistakenly slapped Brunson in the face during the second quarter of the game.
Of course, it was unintentional, but Brunson was caught off guard by the slap from his teammate. The two players quickly hugged it out, proving it was nothing serious. Either way, it was hilarious for fans to see Randle slamming Brunson in the face, albeit unintentionally.
As for the result of the game, the Knicks were overpowered by the Cleveland Cavaliers. The finals score stood at 107-90 in favor of the Cavs, as the series is now tied at 1-1.

Evidently, most expect the Cavaliers to have no trouble in handling the Knicks in the first-round series. However, the Julius Randle-led team proved its doubters wrong by winning Game 1 of the series.
Upon taking a 1-0 lead in the series, Knicks fans were given a slim ray of hope of advancing to the second round of the playoffs. Unfortunately, the Cavaliers quickly made a comeback in Game 2.
