November 11, 2009 08:25 AM
NEW YORK -- LeBron James scored 33 points in his only visit to Madison Square Garden this season, leading the Cleveland
Cavaliers to a 100-91 victory over the New York Knicks Friday night.
One night after managing just 42 second-half points in an ugly home loss to Chicago, the Cavaliers rang up 40 in the first quarter, leaving New York fans with little left to do besides cheer for the Yankees in attendance and enjoy another mesmerizing performance by James.
He added nine assists and eight rebounds, but fell just shy of passing Kobe Bryant as the active scoring leader at the Garden.
James improved his average to 30.4 points, with Bryant averaging 30.5 in 11 visits, according to STATS LLC.
