Stephon Marbury sat out again, and maybe his father's death may be affecting the team. But this distracted style of play has been around for more than the week since that happened. Eddy Curry, apparently winded from standing next to defending Dirk Nowitzki, finished with six points and 3-of-13 shooting -- in 30 minutes. Adding injury to insult, he also left the game after getting slapped in the face by Josh Howard. Zach Randolph, the rare consistent Knick, had 24 points and 11 rebounds. Jamal Crawford's days of wise shooting and scoring have apparently passed. He went 6-of-22 from the floor. Seattle visits the Garden on Wednesday.
