The Knicks have led Cleveland in the fourth quarter of each of their three meetings this season, and each time, LeBron James has directed his team to victory. After battling back from an 11-point deficit, Derek Fisher's team was in position to win once again, tonight without Carmelo Anthony or Kyle O'Quinn (sprained ankles).
Langston Galloway's 23-foot jumper gave New York an 82-80 lead with 4:07 remaining, but an 11-2 Cleveland run from that point on sealed the 91-84 win for the East-leading Cavs. James (24 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists) would end up with nine of his team's 19 fourth quarter points, overshadowing another standout performance from Kristaps Porzingis.
