Knicks shot better, but Cavaliers lived at the free-throw line

James Harden scored 32, made 9 of 11 free throws and hit the three that put Cleveland ahead for good against a Knicks team that shot better from the field.

The Cavaliers beat the Knicks 115-107 in New York on Wednesday, in a game that stayed within five through its last two minutes. James Harden's pull-up three with 4:22 left put Cleveland ahead for good at 104-101. Jalen Brunson's driving bank shot cut it to 104-103 at 3:26, and New York got no closer the rest of the way.
