I didnt do much.James struggled from the start in his first game with Cleveland in four years, and the New York Knicks ruined the megastars emotional return home with a 95-90 victory over the Cavaliers on Thursday night.James, who returned to the Cavs and his native Ohio this summer after winning two NBA titles in Miami, finished with 17 points on 5-of-15 shooting. He also committed eight turnovers and never looked comfortable on a night when the entire city — and a star-studded crowd — celebrated his comeback.It was a special night, he said. Im glad it was great, but Im also glad its over.Carmelo Anthony scored 25 points and buried a baseline jump shot with James in his face with 25 seconds left to give the Knicks a 92-87 lead.Kyrie Irving scored 22 and Kevin Love added 19 points and 14 rebounds for the Cavs, who have some work to before they can start thinking about winning any titles.Iman Shumpert and Jason Smith had 12 points apiece for the Knicks, who were embarrassed at home on Wednesday by Chicago but then returned the favour on a monumental night for Cleveland.It was pretty incredible, New York forward Amare Stoudemire said, describing the atmosphere.

But J.R. Smith hit a jump shot, and after James made a driving layup, Anthony knocked down his baseline jumper with his good friend guarding him to put away the Cavs.James started poorly, shooting just 1 of 9 from the field in the first half. He also had a miscommunication with Irving, who broke to the basket just as James was firing him a pass and the ball flew into the first row of seats next to film director and super Knicks fan Spike Lee.I was throwing passes where I thought some of my teammates were, said James, who sat out Clevelands final preseason game and welcomed a new baby girl last week. Those things will come.Clevelands best moments came before the game.Afraid to miss a single moment, the sold-out crowd, which included pop star Justin Bieber, Browns players Johnny Manziel and Joe Haden, and R&B artist Usher, stood as soon as James emerged from the tunnel.As tip-off approached, a new Nike commercial in which James huddles his teammates together and the entire city joins them, was shown on the Qs gargantuan new scoreboard. The crowd reacted throughout the poignant piece and James watched along with crowd from the bench, nodding his head in appreciation when it ended.Hes home, but he didnt come back just to reunite with friends and family.
