Kyrie Irving’s trip to New York was a magnificent success. He joined a small list at Nike to get a signature shoe, and put a show on against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
Irving scored a season-high 37 points, including a sweet layup with 10 seconds left, giving the Cleveland Cavaliers beat New York 90-87 on Thursday night for their season-best fifth straight victory.
LeBron James finished with 19 points and 12 assists, content to be a passer most of the night because of Irving’s play.
“Spectacular,” James said. “Any time we needed a bucket, he made it. Any time we needed some energy, he gave it.”
