McBride finished with 19 points (7-13 FG, 5-10 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 27 minutes in Wednesday's 115-107 loss to the Cavaliers.
McBride caught fire off the bench Wednesday, turning in his highest scoring output since the Oct. 23 loss in Boston. The Knicks don't seem to be ready to demote the struggling Mikal Bridges to the second unit quite yet, but more performances like Wednesday's could strengthen McBride's case for an expanded role.
