New York Knicks took advantage of a nervous LeBron James on Thursday night to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 95-90 at the Quicken Loans Arena.
NBA's four-time Most Valuable Player returned to the Cavaliers, his hometown team, in the summer after four years with the Miami Heat but wasn't at his best in their opening Eastern Conference game.
James notched 17 points but couldn't prevent the Knicks - who had started sluggishly - from eventually clinching victory.
Introduced to a deafening roar from Cleveland fans, James was welcomed back by a city desperate to end a championship drought that's about to turn 50 years old. James' journey is underway.
At 8:08pm all was right in Cleveland again.
That when James, the last starter announced, walked onto the floor in a Cavs uniform for a regular season game for the first time in four years.
Nearly four months since proclaiming, 'I'm coming home' and shifting the NBA's balance of power, James is again playing in front of family, friends and the Cleveland fans who had their hearts broken when he left for Miami.
