The Knicks have dropped six straight and Charlottes woes have reached 10 consecutive games. New York fell to LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night, 90-87, at Madison Square Garden. The Cavs avenged an opening- night loss to the Knicks with the win. The Knicks led through much of the second half, but James scored five in a row to give Cleveland the lead. Irving hit a tough lefty layup for a three-point lead. The Knicks went to a Carmelo Anthony isolation on the games final possession. Anthony shook James and shot a 3-pointer from the right wing, but it was just off the mark. Iman Shumpert tipped the rebound out to Jose Calderon, who hit a 3-pointer a full second after the final buzzer. Its tough, but thats what were pros for, said guard Tim Hardaway, Jr. We just have to continue to keep fighting, keep grinding. All we can do is go up. Hardaway paced the Knicks with 20 points off the bench. Amare Stoudemire had 18 and Quincy Acy scored a career-high 15 in New Yorks third straight home setback. Anthony shot just 4-for-19 for nine points. The Knicks return home on Sunday then hit the road for three more. The Hornets havent tasted victory since a road wwin in Phoenix on Nov.dddddddddddd 14.

Gerald Henderson completed the double-digit scorers for the Hornets with 10 points. Forward Marvin Williams returned for the Hornets after missing two straight games with a strained shoulder.
