Jarrett Jack scored a season-high 31 points Sunday night in the Cleveland Cavaliers' 106-100 victory over the Knicks, who had their eight-game winning streak snapped.
The Knicks wasted a chance to pull within two games of a playoff spot before leaving for a five-game Western Conference trip that starts Tuesday against the Lakers.
In the fourth quarter, the Knicks couldn't stop Jack and couldn't get a basket from Carmelo Anthony, who missed all five shots in the final period and finished with 32 points. New York remained three back with 12 to play.
