CLEVELAND: Kevin Love scored 23 points and grabbed 13 rebounds and forward LeBron James added 24 points, nine rebounds and five assists in the Cavaliers’ 91-84 win over the New York Knicks on Wednesday at Quicken Loans Arena.
The Knicks were playing without Carmelo Anthony and still nearly pulled off the upset thanks to 23 points and 13 rebounds from rookie Kristaps Porzingis.
The Knicks rallied from 11 behind to take their first lead on a tip-in from Lou Amundson with 11:08 to play, but they went scoreless for 3½ minutes late in the game and Porzingis was shut out in the fourth.
