No they didn't as the New York Knicks walked into game #2 of the 2014-15 NBA 82-game trek (with a bad loss to the Bulls at World's Most Famous last night" and gets a 95-90 nip and tuck playoff-like atmosphere win at the "Q"!
With Cavs nation rocking way before the game and the #CavsInNavyBlue out of the tunnel Cleveland had no fear of losing to the Knicks. That all changed some 2 1/2 hours later as #KnicksTape followed the lead of their Ace the "Bully" of Jordan Brand for a game-high 25 points on 9 of 17 shots for a convincing Knicks "W".
'Melo also gets a dozen from Knicks starting shooting guard Iman Shumpert and a dozen from Jason Smith and "Get Shots" J.R. Smith off he bench. New York shot the magic numbers of 50% from FG , 50% from the 3pt FG, and 80% from the line and if those numbers are north of 180 you will win most games in the Logo! The Knicks were way too comfortable at the "Q" and the Cavs "D" must get to another level before they call themselves elite forget what they look like on paper!
The Cavs led 44-42 at the break but railed 67-64 after three. The Knicks had their biggest lead at 82-73 with just over five minutes left in the game as the Cavs made a run and got that deficit down to three at 88-85 with 1:40 remaining. The Cavs could get no closer as a 'Melo "J" from the corner made it 92-87 after King James hit a lay-up.
Kyrie Irving led the Cavs with 22 points with Kevin Love adding 19 points and grabbing fourteen boards. King James added 17 points on 5 of 15 shooting. The Cavs get the Bulls on o Night at the Madhouse on Madison and the Bulls have been ready!
