The reigning league MVP and Eastern Conference Player of the Month always seems to save his best for the Knicks. It was evident right from the start that Saturday would be no different, with James scoring 23 points in the first quarter and 35 for the half. During one stretch that spanned the first and second quarters, James scored 24 straight of his team's points. That's not all. The 23 points in a quarter matches a Quicken Loans Arena record, which James tied a mere week ago in a win over the L.A. Clippers. Meanwhile, his 35 points in a half are a team record. He finished with 47 for the game on 17-for-31 shooting and 6-for-12 on 3-pointers. During his career, James has scored 52, 50, 45 and now 47 against the poor Knicks. "It's nothing personal," James said afterward, smirking. "It's strictly business. I wish I could score like that against every team."
