CLEVELAND -- Kevin Love had 23 points and 13 rebounds and forward LeBron James added 24 points, nine rebounds and five assists to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 91-84 win over the New York Knicks on Wednesday night.
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 points down to take their first lead on a tip-in from forward Lou Amundson with 11:08 to play, but they went scoreless for 3 1/2 minutes late in the game and Porzingis was shut out in the fourth quarter.
