New York fell to LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night, 90-87, at Madison Square Garden. The Cavs avenged an opening- night loss to the Knicks with the win. The Knicks led through much of the second half, but James scored five in a row to give Cleveland the lead. Irving hit a tough lefty layup for a three-point lead. The Knicks went to a Carmelo Anthony isolation on the games final possession. Anthony shook James and shot a 3-pointer from the right wing, but it was just off the mark. Iman Shumpert tipped the rebound out to Jose Calderon, who hit a 3-pointer a full second after the final buzzer. Its tough, but thats what were pros for, said guard Tim Hardaway, Jr. We just have to continue to keep fighting, keep grinding. All we can do is go up.

The Hornets hit just 2- of-15 attempts from 3-point range, compared to a 12-of-28 mark for Chicago. The obvious difference in this game was 3-point shooting, said Hornets head coach Steve Clifford. We played hard, we did some good things, but we didnt do enough to win. Al Jefferson had 13 points in the defeat while Cody Zeller managed 12. Gerald Henderson completed the double-digit scorers for the Hornets with 10 points. Forward Marvin Williams returned for the Hornets after missing two straight games with a strained shoulder. He came off the bench and scored six points in 24:44. Gary Neal is questionable with a left shoulder sprain. Charlottes last 10-game losing streak came from Feb. 20-March 9, 2013.
