Knicks 104, Rockets 98: Yao Ming didn't play, but this one still feels good for the Knicks. Wilson Chandler came off the bench to score 18 points -- including a go-ahead 3-pointer -- as the Knicks started a stretch of five of six games at home on a good note.

Trailing by six entering the fourth quarter, New York held Houston to 18 points in the final period. This was the first time they had won a game in which they trailed after three quarters -- they were 0-21.

Nate Robinson led the Knicks with 19 points, and David Lee put forth his eighth straight double-double with 17 points and 13 rebounds.

Thunder 94, Nets 85: File this one under the "disaster" category. Only 5,000 people made it to the arena thanks to an ice storm. This game was lost in the second and third quarters, when the Nets combined for 31 points.The Thunder had that many in the third quarter alone. Brook Lopez had 18 points.
