LeBron James had 23 points and 12 assists but it was Kyle Korver's 19 fourth-quarter points that sparked the Cleveland Cavaliers' comeback 104-101 NBA win over the New York Knicks.
James also had a technical foul after a first-quarter altercation with Frank Ntilikina and Enes Kanter, which seemed to charge up the Knicks as they built what became a 23-point lead late in the third quarter.
But the Cavaliers made nine three-pointers in the fourth quarter to charge back for their eighth straight victory at Madison Square Garden, with Korver finishing the game with 21 points.
"I knew we had another half," James said.
"Didn't know that I was going to get snatched like that early in the third, but I felt if I got back in I could still make some plays to help our team win."
Tim Hardaway Jr. had 28 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Knicks but Kristaps Porzingis shot only 7 for 21 for his 20 points.
Washington Wizards beat the Sacramento Kings 110-92 to improve to 8-5 on the back of 21 points from All-Star guard John Wall.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had 27 points in the Milwaukee Bucks' 110-103 win over the Memphis Grizzlies.
Darius Miller made four three-pointers in the fourth quarter on his way to 21 points for the New Orleans Pelicans in a 106-105 win over the struggling Atlanta Hawks.
Elsewhere, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Phoenix Suns 100-93 and the Minnesota Timberwolves eased past the Utah Jazz 109-98.
