Bill Walker poured in a career-high 21 points off the bench for the Knicks, who are just 2-13 in their last 15 games. Al Harrington chipped in 18 points, while Danilo Gallinari ended with 17 points in defeat.

Tracy McGrady's long jumper within the first 30 seconds of the game proved to be New York's lone lead of the entire night. The Cavaliers ripped off the next nine points and were ahead 27-15 on an Anthony Parker layup with 4 1/2 minutes remaining. James' 14 points in the first period helped Cleveland take a 38-26 margin into the second.
