Just when we all thought the returning LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers can win it all this season or at least guarantee a win in their first game this season—the New York Knicks successfully spoiled everything tonight as they handed them their first loss (90-85), which also led to Derek Fisher’s first victory as an NBA head coach.
Carmelo Anthony, who nailed the game sealing shot and scored a game high of 25 points, 2 rebounds, and 6 assists, while for the Cavs, Kyrie Irving led the way with 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists.

Apparently, things didn’t go as expected for the Cavs but it was very entertaining to see a view of their newest Big Three, at least. It’ll take some time before the team finally meshes well together, and once they do—don’t count on them losing games like this.
