Cavs blog by Bob Finnan

Cavs coach Mike Brown absolutely hates games like Wednesday's. He's born and bred thinking about defense. The Knicks, though, shot 51.4 percent from the field and rang up 105 points against the Cavs. Brown, who is sick and thought about not coming to the game, will toss and turn in his sleep.

"That's definitely not the way we like to win games," Brown said. "But I guess every once in a while, you're going to have a shootout. I'd rather come out on the winning end than the losing end. New York always gives us problems. Their perimeter and their post-up players seem to have our number."

Of course, they were saved by LeBron James' 50 points. He was magnificent and is the best player in this league.
