New York Knicks 108 Cleveland Cavaliers 90

That was the first big win for the Knicks this season. David Lee had 22 (17 in the first half) and 11 rebounds and Crawford had 21 and 6 assists. I think Lee is  the barometer of this team as far as team play, fast break and effort goes. Whenever Lee is good the Knicks are winning, passing more and give more effort defensively. That probably has to do with him not needing the ball offensively or creating his own shot.

Crawford is good in 1/3 of the games – basically the team’s record 8-17 – when he’s on fire he puts 30 and 40 pts.  nights but when he has bad shooting night he  is completely off and finish with 2-20.  Richardson had 16 and 7 boards Randolph finished with  17 and 6 for the Knicks.

For the Cavs, Lebron had a great game with 32, 8 rebs, 6 asts and 6 steals, but Hughes and Pavlovic had only 15 pts together on 6-20.
