<p>(Sports Network) - After playing two of the NBA's toughest teams during consecutive games at Madison Square Garden this week, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nba/teams/new-york-knicks">New York Knicks</a> will enjoy a bit of a respite tonight when they visit the lowly <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nba/teams/cleveland-cavaliers">Cleveland Cavaliers</a> at Quicken Loan Arena.</p>
<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.postingandtoasting.com/">Knicks</a> followed up on a heart-breaking last second loss to Boston on Wednesday by dropping a 113-91 decision to the sizzling <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nba/teams/miami-heat">Miami Heat</a> on Friday when <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nba/players/21851/lebron-james">LeBron James</a> put on another show at Madison Square Garden, posting a triple-double of 32 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists to lead the sizzling <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.hothothoops.com/">Heat</a>.</p>
<p>Having a big game in New York is nothing new for James, the owner of two 50- point performances at the Garden. Friday marked his first triple-double at the historic venue in his first game there since spurning the Knicks along with his former team, the Cavs, in favor of joining the Heat this offseason.</p>
<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nba/players/35073/danilo-gallinari">Danilo Gallinari</a> scored 25 points, while <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nba/players/21911/amare-stoudemire">Amare Stoudemire</a> had 24 points and 14 boards for the Knicks, who have dropped two in a row since an eight- game winning streak.</p>
<p>"We played well. We could have played better," Stoudemire said. "They scored whenever they wanted, so we have to get better on the defensive end."</p>
<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.fearthesword.com/">Cavaliers</a>, meanwhile, have hit the skids and hit them hard, losing their 10th straight in Indianapolis on Friday when <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nba/players/21709/danny-granger">Danny Granger</a> poured in 30 points and grabbed a season-high 12 rebounds to lead Indiana past Cleveland, 108-99.</p>
<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nba/players/21676/mo-williams">Mo Williams</a> scored 22 points and handed out 11 assists, while <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nba/players/21635/anthony-parker">Anthony Parker</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nba/players/21838/antawn-jamison">Antawn Jamison</a> contributed 17 points apiece for the Cavaliers, who are in the midst of their longest losing streak since a 15-game hiccup between November 6 - December 2, 2002.</p>
<p>"We're all competing and putting ourselves in a situation to win games, but when we need to play smarter, when we need to get good shots, when we need to get stops, we're just not finding a way to put it together for 48 minutes," Jamison said. "I know the character of this team. We'll continue to fight."</p>
<p>Cleveland has won eight straight and nine of its last 10 meetings with the Knicks but all of that was accomplished with James leading the way.</p>
