James takes over late to lift Cavaliers past Knicks

James tried to avoid complaining about the jerseys after the game, but his praise for the sleeved look felt hollow. After a loss to San Antonio in 2014 when he was with Miami, James said the uniforms are restrictive, making it hard to shoot.

“I mean, if the fans love them, I love them”. I know he’s happy about that and just having an opportunity to go out and play again for that franchise. I couldn’t do nothing to my face. “That’s all it’s about”. Later, he blasted down the lane and thundered home his dunk off a great look from Williams.

“They were interesting”, Dellavedova said. “I’m probably more of a traditional singlet kind of guy”.

Not long after ESPN finished its intro to the nationally televised game, the Cavs trailed by 15.

He was 1 of 16 on three pointers this year before that basket.

The Cavs (3-1) lost J.R. Smith in their last game so Smith won’t be able to go up against his former squad as he nurses a bruised knee.

In Oakland, California, Stephen Curry scored 31 points, including the go-ahead 3-pointer with just over a minute to go that led defending champion Golden State to its fifth straight win to open the season, 112-108 over the Clippers. “Sometimes you have to win it with the curve or the changeup”.

After scoring 38 points in the first half, the Cavs put up 58 in the second.

Using data from SportsVu, NBA.com’s John Schuhmann found that “teams shoot best in the first six seconds of the shot clock”, with their effective field goal percentage dropping by 10 percentage points every six seconds after that. “The good news is we’ve played five games and we’re 4-1”.

His four rebounds including a putback jam over Kevin Love (11 points, 12 rebounds) in the second quarter. When he’s forced to wear them, he does not have a great shooting night. Kristaps Porzingis is troubling to shoot against, with two blocks, just like Carmelo Anthony, teaming up to form a pretty good forward duo next to the rookie.

“I love the jerseys”, he said. The spark came not from James, not even from the starting lineup, as it was Matthew Dellevadova who turned the game late in the third quarter. For King James Gospel, we had plenty of takeaways from the game. Blatt asked. “Would that be OK?” In fact, the game began on a positive note for Philadelphia, who outscored the Cavaliers 32-18 in the first quarter. Frustrated with his shot in the first half, he ripped the sleeves on Cleveland’s new, black jerseys. “But I did hit a big one tonight so I just got to get a few reps”. “We can hang out all day, talk all day but when it comes to game time I am trying to win, he is trying to win… the friendship and brotherhood will always be there but I am trying to win as is he, there is a fine line to it”.

Jonas Valanciunas had 17 points and 12 rebounds and Kyle Lowry added 17 points for the Raptors (5-0), who beat Dallas the night before.
