Eight is enough, Cavaliers win streak snapped in Milwaukee

To top it off, he spent the game’s final minutes matched up against James after Antetokounmpo fouled out. A night after they were outscored 30-17 in the second quarter and needed a 24-12 fourth-quarter edge to down the NY Knicks, it’s no surprise James was fed up. My God what’s up with people. They’re 1-4 at home. After a hot first half, Anthony fell into a cold spell in the second half, missing his first nine shots from the floor. When Irving comes back, there will be less pressure on LeBron James to perform since Irving is also a point scorer, and one of the league’s top small men.

Dion Waiters scored 14 points for the Thunder, who won their third straight.

Howard Simmons Carmelo Anthony looks to put up shot between former teammate J.R. Smith and Cavaliers’ Kevin Love. James finished with 31 points and Williams scored 20.

The Cavs played from behind most of the night and led for just 24 seconds after halftime.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – Evan Fournier scored 21 points and Orlando raced out to a big early lead to defeat Utah.

Phoenix led by as many as 37 points in the second half and was in control from nearly the very start of the game.

LeBron James’ personal strings of 30-plus-point games and dominant fourth-quarter play are still going. Out of a timeout, the Knicks intentionally fouled Williams.

The Warriors scored the first 10 points of overtime to pull away.

NY finished the third quarter on a 6-0 run to enter the final period with a 72-66 lead. Porzingis is the first Knicks rookie since Patrick Ewing in 1985 to score at least 80 points and grab at least 60 rebounds through the first seven games of a season.

The loss to the Hornets snapped a two-game win streak for the Knicks who were coming off “Ws” against both Toronto and the L.A. Lakers.

Anthony missed a contested jumper and Cleveland had a chance to tie it but Matthew Dellavedova missed an open three. Anthony made two free throws, making it 76-71 with seven minutes remaining.

The Cavaliers success has largely been thanks to the combined production of Lebron James and Mo Williams.

But James stopped Anthony when he had to, and Anthony couldn’t do the same when necessary.

Anthony shot 9-of-20 from the field and had 5 rebounds and 4 assists for the Knicks, which have suffered back-to-back losses to drop to 4-6 for the season.

There was plenty of time left for the Knicks, but on the side inbounds play, Porzingis fumbled Lance Thomas’ lob, leading to two more Williams’ free throws to seal it.

The Knicks turned the ball over on consecutive possession when Calderon threw a pass away. After another turnover, James hit a turnaround jumper with Anthony in his face to make it 84-82. The basket with 1:16 to go gave Cleveland its first lead of the second half. On the other end, Williams’ jumper made it 86-84 with 41.1 seconds left. He tied the game at 94-94 on a drive through the lane for an easy dunk with 16.5 seconds left.

Double-overtime games can force you to have to make it up as you go along.
