NEW YORK, N.Y. - Kyrie Irving looked ready to slam the ball down in frustration, angry his coach had stopped him when the Knicks couldnt.Everything worked out during that timeout Irving didnt want. David Blatt put the ball right back in his point guards hands, and Irving delivered one last time.Irving scored a season-high 37 points, including a layup with 10 seconds left, and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat New York 90-87 on Thursday night for their season-best fifth straight victory.I saw something different out there, but thats just part of the game, Irving said of his reaction to Blatts timeout. He called timeout, drew up a heck of a play, trusted me with the ball at the end of the game, and were getting used to one another.Irving carried the Cavs most of the game before LeBron James had five straight points late that helped Cleveland pull it out. James finished with 19 points and 12 assists, content to be a passer most of the night because of Irvings play.Spectacular, James said. Any time we needed a bucket, he made it. Any time we needed some energy, he gave it.Carmelo Anthony ended a 4-for-19 night by missing a 3-pointer in the final seconds as the Knicks dropped their sixth straight and fell to 4-16. He scored nine points.For the most part I thought everybody played extremely well tonight, Anthony said. I wish I played better. I know I could have played a little bit better. I just wasnt there for my team offensively tonight.Tim Hardaway Jr. added 20 points and Amare Stoudemire had 18 points and nine rebounds for the Knicks, who were trying to surprise the Cavs for the second time this season.But New York, which spoiled James first game back in Cleveland with a 95-90 victory on Oct. 30, couldnt hold on after leading by seven in the final quarter.James nailed his lone 3-pointer in six attempts for an 86-85 lead with 3:54 left, then helped force a turnover and turned it into a fast-break dunk for a three-point lead with 3:25 to go.Stoudemires basket cut it to 88-87, and the teams traded misses until Cleveland had the ball with under a half-minute left and Irving dribbling in the frontcourt. He said he saw a lane to the right and only 9 seconds left on the shot clock, but Blatt saw something else.Well, Kyrie is doing a lot better when hes playing than when hes coaching, Blatt joked.Irving then made a lefty layup, saying later he trusted Blatt 100 per cent.Kevin Love had 11 points and 11 rebounds for the Cavs, who had averaged 109.8 points in the previous four victories but could never get their offence going in this one — except for Irving.He finished 12 of 18 from the field and bettered the 29 points per game he was scoring at Madison Square Garden, which was his best at any arena.TIP-INSCavaliers: Irving has scored 20 or more points in 10 straight games against the Knicks. ... Blatt was asked if he could learn anything by watching the first matchup, which was his first game as an NBA coach. When I feel like being particularly masochistic, I go back and look at that game, yeah, he said. Given my experience, I try to avoid that whenever I can.Knicks: The Knicks changed their starting lineup again, with Quincy Acy starting at forward and Stoudemire moving to centre. Coach Derek Fisher said Acy, who scored a career-high 15 points, had some of the necessary skills to defend Love. ... Fisher walked all the way to the logo near centre court to call a late timeout after he tried and failed to get one granted in the previous game. ... J.R. Smith was back after missing the last game and almost all the previous one with flu-like symptoms.INJURY UPDATESJames was bothered during the game by right elbow pain, a problem he had experienced in the past, but said he would be OK. A little sore tonight, he said. I dont know why, it hasnt been sore for a while, but Ill be all right tomorrow. ... The Cavs said Mike Miller left the game with 2:28 remaining with concussion-like symptoms and would remain in New York overnight for further examination.UP NEXTCavaliers: At Toronto on Friday.Knicks: At Charlotte on Friday.___Follow Brian Mahoney on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/Briancmahoney Curt Schilling Jersey .

Weve a lot of construction sites and many of the defeats are self-inflicted.Two mistakes from Neven Subotic cost Klopps side dearly in Munich — a clearance went straight to former teammate Robert Lewandowski for the equalizer and the defender conceded a penalty after Franck Ribery blocked another attempted clearance — but the 2-1 scoreline arguably flattered Dortmund, which had only four efforts on target compared to Bayerns 18.Roman Weidenfeller produced an inspired performance by making 12 saves, a Bundesliga record this season and a personal league best, but they werent enough in the face of Bayerns incessant pressure.Dortmund has conceded in every league game this season, and only Werder Bremen, Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt have conceded more. Only goal difference separated Dortmund from bottom side Bremen.Klopps position is not under threat, not yet at least, due to the success he brought Dortmund since taking over in 2008. Back-to-back Bundesliga titles were complemented by the clubs first league and cup double in 2012, and the former Mainz player then led Dortmund to the Champions League final in 2013, only for Bayern to emerge victorious thanks to Arjen Robbens late winner.Robben converted the penalty on Saturday, underlining the Dutchmans stature as Dortmunds tormentor-in-chief.Klopps side hasnt been helped by injuries — Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Marco Reus, Jakub Blaszczykowski, Ilkay Gundogan, Marcel Schmelzer, Nuri Sahin and Oliver Kirch have all faced long spells out — and captain Mats Hummels was ruled out for three weeks with a right foot sprain on Sunday, sustained against Bayern the nightt before.ddddddddddddGoals are also proving scarce following Lewandowskis switch to Bayern.After 10 league games last season, Dortmund was second in the table with 25 goals scored, three more than leader Bayern. The side has only 11 goals at the same stage this season.Klopp has been rotating three strikers — Ciro Immobile, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Adrian Ramos — to try and fill the void but none are as yet proving as effective as Lewandowski.The Polish striker joined Bayern in the off-season, following Bayerns capture of Mario Goetze the year before, and Dortmund is facing the possibility of Marco Reus joining his former teammates in Munich next season.Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge angered Dortmund management by saying Reus, who has a contract to 2017, could leave for 25 million euros ($31.3 million) next summer.Well discuss it internally in peace and calm and then make a decision, Rummenigge added weeks later. The player also has to decide.Reus covered his ears after scoring against Bayern, suggesting he didnt want to hear any more media speculation on his future, but its likely to continue until he makes a statement one way or the other.Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has hit out at Rummenigge for continuing to fan the flames and said Saturday that he no longer had any working relationship with the Bayern chairman.Bayern, meanwhile, is taking pleasure from Dortmunds travails. Fans celebrated their sides deserved win by chanting Dortmund will be playing in the second division.Its a lovely feeling to beat Dortmund, even if theyre not where they should be in the table, said Thomas Mueller, whose side appears to have the Bundesliga wrapped up already after 10 games.Bayern sporting director Matthias Sammer said his side wasnt to blame if the Bundesliga was becoming less interesting.Its up to the league to provide the excitement, not us, said Sammer, a former Bundesliga-winning Dortmund player and coach, who did little to quell talk of Reus joining the club. Marco Reus is a Borussia Dortmund player. We discuss what thoughts we have internally.Of more pressing importance to Dortmund now is the sides league position.Its lousy of course, Klopp said. But you can get confidence back, so thats the cool thing.
