Cavaliers sweep season series against Knicks


The Cleveland Cavaliers won the fourth and final match up against the New York Knicks Sunday 98-93. Mo Williams scored 23 points, making all five of his 3-pointers, and James added 19. The Cavaliers didn't put the Knicks away until the final minutes and improved the NBA's best home record to 29-1. Cleveland is the only team undefeated at home against teams from its own conference. With Boston's loss to Milwaukee, the Cavs have opened a 3 1/2-game lead on the defending champions. Cleveland has a chance to widen the gap in the weeks ahead.The Cavs were back home for the first time since clinching the division title on the road. There was no ceremony or mention of the banner, which dangles next to one from 1975-76 -- Cleveland's only other division championship. "We got that before the guys on this team were born," James said. "It's something that we're very proud of." The Cavaliers play Orlando magic Tuesday night and try to beat the team with the NBA's 4th best record.
