Harden scores 32 as Cavaliers beat Knicks 115-107
James Harden scored a season-high 32 points to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 115-107 win over the New York Knicks on Wednesday in New York.
The 37-year-old guard had averaged 15.3 points through his first 11 games, prompting questions about his form.
The performance eased doubts about his scoring after a slow start to his 18th NBA season.
Harden joined Cleveland from the LA Clippers, and this is his first full season with the team.
He is still finding how to play alongside fellow star Donovan Mitchell, while coach Kenny Atkinson says the Cavaliers do not need Harden to score as he did in Houston.
Cleveland began the season 5-6, and the team hopes Harden can keep playing well as the season continues.
The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the New York Knicks 115-107 on November 11, 2026.
James Harden scored a season-high 32 points and made five three-pointers.
Donovan Mitchell added 23 points on over 50 per cent shooting.
The game was played at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
