The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the New York Knicks 126-109 at Madison Square Garden on Sunday to achieve their fourth straight win.

Ricky Rubio scored a career-high 37 points while knocking down a career-high eight shots from downtown, plus 10 assists. Half of his triples came in the third quarter, during which the Cavaliers went on a 33-18 run.

"Rubio going INSANE in the garden right now!!!!" LeBron James tweeted while watching the game.

"That's why we fought to get him here. We know what he's capable of and how good of a player he is. When that gets going, and when it turns on, he's capable of what he did tonight. He flat out put on a show. And he willed us to a win," J.B. Bickerstaff, head coach of the Cavaliers, said of the 31-year-old veteran.

The team missed Lauri Markkanen, Kevin Love and Issac Okoro in Sunday's game, which made Rubio's unexpected offensive contributions even more valuable. The Cavaliers and the Knicks were almost on par in points scored in the paint. The 12 long shots Rubio and Darius Garland made were why the Cavaliers could claim victory at MSG.

"There's no team that's going to feel sorry for you and play less aggressive because you're down three or four guys. Next man up," Rubio said after the game. "We're 7-4. It's really good but it's only 11 games. Win the scrap is what we are talking. I think all the guys, everybody who is on the roster, are buying into that mentality."

Evan Mobley continued his remarkable performance in his rookie season, going 11-15 in field goals (FGs) and 2-4 in 3-pointers to get 26 points, nine rebounds and five assists. His agility to switch perimeter players and high-post passing ability have been impressive and should make him a perfect fit in today's basketball.

"He's special and he will be special," Rubio said of Mobley. "We don't even know how (high) his potential can be. First game in the Garden. Twenty years old. You have to give him credit. He's really mature for his age. He knows how to play the game the right way. Scoring 26 points your first game in MSG is hard to do. We're proud to have a teammate like him. It's fun."

Are Golden State Warriors an underestimated team this season?

The Golden State Warriors walked over the Houston Rockets 120-107 at Chase Center on Sunday, claiming their fourth win in a row and continuing to lead the Western Conference.

Jordan Poole and Otto Porter Jr. were the biggest highlights of the home team in the first half. Poole scored 15 points in the first quarter alone and Porter drained four 3-pointers, three of which came in a row in 40 seconds in the second quarter.

The game was relatively equally matched in the first half but it was soon gone for the Rockets in Q3 due to the six turnovers they committed and a 12-0 run by the Warriors in two minutes and 26 seconds.

Stephen Curry contributed one steal, one triple, two secondary assists and one screen assist during that short period of time. Having made four 3-pointers in Sunday's game, he is only 99 away from surpassing Ray Allen to lead the NBA career 3-point scoring leaders list.

After the win over the Rockets, the Warriors have the best record in the league (8-1), averaged the most points per game (113.9), enjoy the best defensive rating (97.4) and lead the NBA in triples made per game (16), assists (30.2) and net rating (+13.3).

Do they remind you of the Warriors three years ago?
