LeBron James leaned back and yawned. The Cavaliers didn't wake up until it was almost too late.

GAME: Milwaukee Bucks (38-40) at New York Knicks (22-56).
TIME: Friday, 7:30 p.m. EDT.
The Milwaukee Bucks continue looking to improve their playoff position when they take on a New York Knicks that could be without coach Larry Brown.
