NEW YORK — LeBron James celebrated with the Yankees and toyed with the Knicks.

No wonder he's bummed about the NBA schedule: only one Garden party this season.

James scored 33 points in his lone visit to New York, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 100-91 victory over the Knicks last night.

The Cavaliers rang up 40 in the first quarter, leaving New York fans with little left to do besides cheer for the Yankees in attendance and enjoy another mesmerizing performance by James.

"The atmosphere was great," James said. "Lot of stars in the building and like I said it's humbling to know that you have guys like the Yankees come out and Jay-Z. It's really, really humbling."

James shot 8 of 9 in the first period, with his second 3-pointer coming just before the buzzer to give him 19 points and make it 40-21.
