As was often the case on the road last year 's NBA championship , the combination of LeBron James , Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love were almost enough to conquer the opposition on their own Tuesday . Irving led the way against the Knicks with 29 points on 12 - for - 22 shooting , while James and Love managed a triple - double and double - double , respectively . The pair combined for 23 boards ( 18 defensive ) and 16 assists while shooting 27 - for - 51 ( 53 percent ) . The trio 's combined scoring total of 71 points accounted for all but eight of the first unit 's scoreboard contributions . By comparison , Carmelo Anthony , Derrick Rose and Kristaps Porzingis managed only a combined 52 points on a 42 percent ( 20 - for - 48 ) success rate from the floor , while the other two members of the Knicks ' first unit , Courtney Lee and Joakim Noah , notably failed to score altogether . The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the visiting New York Knicks , 117 - 88 , at Quicken Loans Arena on Tuesday . The new - look Knicks ( 0 - 1 ) , who added Joakim Noah , Derrick Rose and Courtney Lee in a makeover of their starting five this offseason , had their moments at various points until the middle of the third quarter , at which point LeBron James , Kyrie Irving and rest of the defending NBA champions started to exert their dominance . New York 's comeback efforts were ultimately undermined by a collectively poor shooting night , vulnerability down in the paint despite the presence of Noah and standout second - year forward Kristaps Porzingis , and carelessness with the ball . New York managed just 37 percent shooting from the field , was out - rebounded on the defensive glass by a 40 - 29 margin , was outscored 52 - 28 in the paint , and allowed 21 points to the Cavs off 18 turnovers , all pivotal factors in a 29 - point defeat . New York was led by Carmelo Anthony , who played only 30 minutes in the blowout but managed 19 points , five rebounds , three assists and a steal . Rose put together a 17 - point effort in his Knicks debut after missing most of the preseason , but could only supplement the scoring with three rebounds , an assist and a block . Porzingis was solid with 16 points , seven rebounds , a steal and a pair of rejections , with more than half his scoring coming on three made three - pointers on five attempts . However , Noah and Lee were shut out on the scoreboard altogether , with the former making up somewhat for his lack of points with six boards , three assists and a steal in a modest 20 minutes . The decisive second - half lead the Cavs ( 10 ) eventually built up allowed their two biggest superstars to finish the last several minutes on the bench . Irving , often matched up against a rusty Derrick Rose , paced the Cavs with 29 points , four assists , two rebounds and two steals . James posted a triple - double , totaling 19 points , 14 assists , 11 rebounds and a block in just 32 minutes . Kevin Love contributed a double - double with 23 points , 12 boards , a pair of assists and a trio of steals . The recently re - signed J.R. Smith supplied eight points on 3 - for - 13 shooting against his former Knicks teammates . The Knicks head back to New York for their home opener against the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night . The Cavaliers hit the road for the first time this season to take on the Toronto Raptors on Friday evening .
