Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 34 points and Kristaps Porzingis added 32 points and 12 rebounds to propel the New York Knicks to their second straight victory on Sunday night, a 114-95 road win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Cavs (3-4) have now lost three straight games and four of five, while the Knicks (2-3) have rebounded from a rough start.
Sunday also marked the anniversary of James’ professional debut in 2003 against Sacramento. He finished with 25 points, nine assists and six rebounds that night.
‘I played better 14 years ago than I did tonight,” James said.
Cleveland was missing guard Iman Shumpert because of a sore right knee.
Hardaway was two points short of his career high, which came on March 3 last season against the Cavs while he played for Atlanta.
The Knicks next host the Denver Nuggets on Monday night, while the Cavaliers host Indiana on Wednesday night.
