Korver, James key Cavs win

-

LeBron James had 23 points and 12 assists, Kyle Korver scored 19 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter to spark a huge comeback, and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Knicks, 104-101, last night in New York.

James also had a technical foul after a first-quarter altercatio­n with Frank Ntilikina and Enes Kanter, which seemed to charge up the Knicks as they built what became a 23-point lead late in the third quarter.

But the Cavaliers made nine 3-pointers in the fourth after hitting just seven through three quarters, charging back for their eighth straight victory at Madison Square Garden.

Tim Hardaway Jr. had 28 points and 10 rebounds, and Kanter added 20 points and 16 boards. But Kristaps Porz- ingis shot only 7-for-21 while scoring 20 points as the Knicks blew their chance to beat the Cavs for the second time this season.

Wizards 110, Kings 92 — John Wall had 21 points and nine assists, Marcin Gortat scored 18 and host Washington beat Sacramento for its third straight win.

Pelicans 106, Hawks 105 — Darius Miller hit four three pointers in the fourth quarter, when he scored 14 of his 21 points, and host New Orleans survived a sloppy performanc­e to beat struggling Atlanta.

DeMarcus Cousins had 22 points and 16 rebounds, and Anthony Davis added 13 points, 10 rebounds and four blocked shots for the Pelicans, who’ve won five of six. E’Twaun Moore tied a career high with 24 points for New Orleans.

Bucks 110, Grizzlies 103 — Giannis Antetokoun­mpo had 27 points and nine rebounds to lead host Milwaukee to a victory over Memphis.
