Stephon Takes Charge

The Knicks won again Sunday with Stephon Marbury leading the way. Marbury had 23 points, 15 assists and only one turnover as the Knicks beat Seattle 120-116. Once again, the Knicks shot over 50% from the field, exploiting the right matchups and getting mostly good looks at the basket.

Trevor Ariza contributed seven big rebounds off the bench while Channing Frye added 15 points from the pine; but Maurice Taylor stole the show. Taylor poured in 23 points, including several key baskets down the stretch while showcasing some surprisingly good low-post moves.

The win completes a perfect three-game homestand for the Knicks and provides them with some momentum before they face King James and the Cavs Tuesday night in Cleveland.
