CLEVELAND -- Andre Miller scored 19 points, including the winning free throws with 58 seconds to play, as the Cavaliers edged the Knicks 80-78 Monday night.
New York, playing without injured Marcus Camby and Larry Johnson, lost for the fourth time in six games and fell 1 1/2 games behind Miami for the third playoff seed in the Eastern Conference.
New York can still gain the No. 3 spot but must defeat Detroit in its final game while Miami loses its last two games.
HORNETS 106, HAWKS 83: Host Charlotte continued its push toward the playoffs and clinched sixth in the East. The Hornets trail fifth-place Toronto by a half-game.
DISCIPLINE: The Trail Blazers suspended star forward Rasheed Wallace, who has been ejected seven times this season and has a record 41 technicals, for throwing a towel in the face of teammate Arvydas Sabonis during Sunday's game.
