Tyson contributed two points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 16 minutes during Monday's 130-93 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Tyson had a very quiet postseason for the Cavaliers, but his performance in the regular season turned some heads. Across 66 contests, he averaged 26.9 minutes per game with 13.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.0 three-pointers on 49.3 percent shooting from the field and 44.6 percent from beyond the arc.

Ellis chipped in five points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 16 minutes during Monday's 130-93 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

After being used sparingly by the Kings, a midseason trade to the Cavaliers gave Ellis new life. In Cleveland, he appeared in 29 regular-season contests (six starts) with averages of 8.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.8 blocks and 1.3 steals in 24.8 minutes per contest.

Merrill amassed five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 18 minutes during Monday's 130-93 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Merrill, playing in his sixth NBA season, put together a career year in Cleveland. Injuries limited him to 52 regular-season appearances, but he put together averages of 12.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 3.0 three-pointers in 26.5 minutes per contest. Merrill is under contract with the Cavaliers for three more seasons.

Mobley logged 15 points (7-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 130-93 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Cavaliers were swept from the postseason following this loss, but Mobley can hold his head high after yet another impressive year. Playing in his fifth NBA campaign, Mobley appeared in 65 regular-season contests with averages of 18.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.7 blocks, 0.7 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 31.9 minutes per contest.

Strus supplied five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists across 22 minutes during Monday's 130-93 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Strus simply couldn't find any rhythm, scoring single digits for the fifth time in the past six games. Although he was able to provide the Cavaliers with a strong defensive presence, his offensive output left a lot to be desired. In seven games over the past two weeks, he averaged just 9.4 points, 1.0 steals and 2.4 three-pointers.

Allen closed with six points (3-5 FG), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 26 minutes during Monday's 130-93 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Allen salvaged what was an otherwise underwhelming night, tallying four defensive stats to go along with just six points. While it certainly wasn't the way he would've wanted the season to end, Allen was able to turn in a number of strong performances down the stretch. In 15 postseason appearances over the past month, he averaged 13.1 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in 29.9 minutes per contest.

Harden closed with 12 points (2-8 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 130-93 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Harden's reputation as someone who struggles when everything is on the line continued to build Monday, as he scored just 12 points on 25.0 percent shooting. Monday's loss closed what was a solid postseason run for the veteran, who averaged 18.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.9 three-pointers in 15 playoff appearances over the past month.

Robinson racked up eight points (4-6 FG, 0-2 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal across 18 minutes during Monday's 130-93 victory over the Cavaliers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Robinson pulled down a postseason-high 10 rebounds, once again providing the Knicks with a solid secondary center option. Although his numbers have been nothing special, his impact cannot be ignored. His energy and tenacity, particularly on the offensive end, often result in a New York basket. Look for Robinson to continue playing a meaningful role through the NBA Finals, given the size of both potential Western Conference foes.

Shamet closed Monday's 130-93 victory over Cleveland in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals with 16 points (5-6 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists and one steal across 19 minutes.

Shamet continues to be a viable three-point threat, having landed at least three triples in four of his past five games. Although he offers very little outside his perimeter scoring, Shamet's efficiency has meant opposing defenses have had to make an extra effort when guarding him. Monday's win means New York will now have a week off before facing either San Antonio or Oklahoma City in the NBA Finals.

Mitchell produced 31 points (9-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 32 minutes in Monday's 130-93 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Mitchell put together his best game of the series, which included a postseason-high five treys to lead the Cavs in scoring. However, it wasn't nearly enough to fend off the Knicks, who will advance to the NBA Finals following a four-game sweep. Mitchell averaged 27.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.5 steals in the Eastern Conference Finals.
