LeBRON, KORVER KEY CAVALIERS’ CHARGE IN FOURTH

YORK» LeBron James had 23 NEW points and 12 assists and Kyle Korver scored 19 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter to spark a comeback as the Cavaliers beat the Knicks 104-101 on Monday.

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, roaring 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 Porzingis shot only 7-for-21 while scoring 20 points for the Knicks.
