LEBRON JAMES had 27 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in his third triple-double of the season, Kevin Love added 28 points and 12 rebounds, and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the New York Knicks 107-93 Saturday night.

    James also picked up a technical foul when he stared at Lou Amundson after driving to the rim and ferociously dunking over the Knicks forward and Kristaps Porzingis.

    “I haven’t jumped out of my seat like that in a long time,” Love said. “I’m usually out of my seat, clapping, yelling, but I ran with J.R. (Smith) to about, almost to the basket. That was impressive. That was a strong man there.”

    Even with Kyrie Irving resting, the Cavaliers easily bounced back from a loss in Brooklyn on Thursday, shutting the Knicks down in the first half.

    Smith finished with 13 points in the Cavs’ sixth straight victory over the Knicks.

    Carmelo Anthony scored 28 points after a brutal start for the Knicks, who were coming off a home-and-home sweep of Chicago. Porzingis had 19.

    James recorded his 42nd career triple-double and moved within three points of Dominique Wilkins for 12th place on the NBA’s scoring list.

    “Before the game he just talked about he feels great, he’s getting stronger as the season winds down, so that’s a big plus for us,” Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said.

    James made it clear Saturday morning he believes the Cavs have enough to win the title, and they looked it during a dominant first half. They held the Knicks to 15 points in the first quarter and 17 in the second, with James and Love taking turns carrying the offense as Cleveland took a 24-point lead.

    Anthony missed 10 of his first 11 shots but turned it around in the second half. He said he had fun competing against James, his longtime friend. (SD-Agencies)
