NBA Cavaliers beat Knicks, 100-90

Cleveland beat New York again to end the season with three straight wins.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Stephon Marbury wasn't all that upset after the New York Knicks lost their season finale.
He was looking ahead to the playoffs and remembering what he loathed the most when he played on the other side of the Hudson River.
"I hated when we walked on the court and they were cheering for the other team," Marbury recalled of his Nets-Knicks experiences when he spent 21/2 seasons in New Jersey. "That bothered me a lot."
The Knicks and Nets are about to meet in the playoffs for the first time in 10 years, and New York's 100-90 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night will not matter.
New York had a chance to move up to No. 6, but needed a loss by New Orleans at Washington. But with the out-of-town scoreboard showing the Hornets comfortably ahead throughout their game, the result of the Cavs-Knicks game became inconsequential.
Cavs get 4-0 sweep
LeBron James scored his final two points of his rookie season on a crowd-pleasing dunk with 30 seconds remaining, finishing with 17 points as Cleveland completed a 4-0 sweep of the season series and won its third in a row.
"I think overall I had a very successful season, but not because of my statistical categories," James said. "I look at the team, and we doubled plus one our wins from last year. And we got better from Day 1 until now."
Some might dispute that final statement, as Cleveland's late-season swoon kept the Cavs out of the playoffs.
But there was no denying the improvement they made, going from 17 to 35 victories while playing in front of sellout crowds all around the NBA.
Their finale was a quality win, given that the Knicks used their starters throughout the fourth quarter.
Jeff McInnis led Cleveland with 19 points, and Carlos Boozer and Ira Newble added 14 apiece.
Marbury had 27 points, eight assists and six rebounds in 44 minutes after playing a combined 34 minutes in New York's previous two games.
The rest of New York's starters and key reserves also played a normal number of minutes as coach Lenny Wilkens looked to get them back into their usual rotations in advance of the Knicks' first postseason appearance in three years.
