The Cleveland Cavaliers (35 - 22) defeated the New York Knicks (10 - 45) 101 - 83 on Sunday. After losing their first matchup of the season on Opening Night, the Cavaliers took home wins in the final two games of their season series, as the Cavs and Knicks wo n't play each other again the rest of this season. Cleveland has won two straight games coming out of the All-Star break. Sunday's win was the result of a team effort, as four players finished in double digits, but no player scored more than 18 points. They're heading into a tough stretch of games that will see the Cavs play nine of their next 12 games on the road, but they'll have some extra help guarding the paint, as the Cavs are expected to have the recently - signed Kendrick Perkins available for Tuesday's game in Detroit. New York has dropped their first two games coming out of the All-Star break, and they've lost 11 straight reaching back to Feb. 3. Since Carmelo Anthony (knee) announced he'd sit out the rest of the season, Cleanthony Early and Lance Thomas have been the first players to earn spot starts at small forward for the Knicks, and as with all things for the Knicks this season, the results have been less than exciting. While six players scored in double digits for the Knicks on Sunday, the team - high was an underwhelming 13 points scored from Langston Galloway.
