Atlanta 99 Knicks 93: They simply couldn’t bring this one home. Ahead 91-90 with less than three minutes in the game, the Knicks went cold on both ends of the floor and lost. Jamal Crawford made two turnovers, missed two shots and totally blew a defensive assignment as the Hawks went up 94-91 with 34 second left. The Knicks got the ball back and went inside to Randolph who already had 29 points, but he......

Rangers 5 Panthers 0: For the second-consecutive weekend the Rangers played two games and emerged with four point. Sunday they completely dominated Florida on both ends of the ice as they cruised to an easy win. Five different Rangers scored goals and ten different Rangers had points in the win. Brandon Dubinsky showed his versatility when he pulled Sean Avery away from a fight, only to step into the action on his own. Dubinsky fought......

76ers 124, Knicks 84: For the second time this season, the Knicks got blown out by the second-worst team in the division. How is that possible? Start with nine turnovers in the first quarter alone -- and 23 for the game. Sprinkle in some porous defense and everything should come out just fine. The Knicks lost by 40 despite shooting 46 percent from the floor. Too bad Philadelphia made 57 percent of its shots.Nets 110,......

Nets 101, Mavericks 82: Ah, the schizophrenic Nets. After losing three straight, they've now won two in a row, and Sunday's win came against a legitimate title contender. It also came at the Izod Center, a place they have had trouble putting up good performances all season long. Maybe it's all the empty seats. Vince Carter put forth one of his best efforts of the season -- a 29-point, nine-rebound performance. And that was after......

Nets 100, Warriors 95: With three minutes to go in this game, the Izod Center sounded like a morgue, and the Nets appeared on their way to a disheartening loss. A 14-point lead had turned into a one-point deficit. Careless passes led to easy Warriors baskets. But the Nets win consecutive games around major holidays -- remember that winning streak over Thanksgiving? Because of that, the Warriors wouldn't score again. Or maybe it was......

Sonics 117, Knicks 110: Knicks fans deserve a lot of credit. No one's pointing out how hard it is to chant "Fire Isiah." That phrase has a ton of vowel sounds. They held off for part of this game, but at the end, the result was the same. Zach Randolph is the only self-respecting Knick, though Jamal Crawford has been putting up better numbers with Stephon Marbury still out. The sum of the parts is......

Mavericks 99, Knicks 89: Are James Dolan and Isiah Thomas watching the same team the fans are? More boos were heard in Madison Square Garden during the latest Knicks debacle. But James Dolan and Isiah Thomas don't seem to hear them -- or feel the "Fire Isiah" chants are justified. What more evidence do they need? A loss to the Mavericks, the team that finished with the best record in the NBA last season, wouldn't......

76ers 101, Knicks 90: Under most circumstances, losing to one of the worst teams in the NBA would be of concern to the Knicks. But with the death of guard Stephon Marbury's father, it doesn't seem so bad. Marbury played for the first half and scored two points but didn't come back out for the second half. Jamal Crawford had his second straight excellent game, but the Knicks frontcourt couldn't contain Samuel Delambert. The two......

Islanders 5, Capitals 2: Bill Guerin, master of the assists, finally scored as the Islanders romped host Washington. The new captain had a hat trick as he got his name in the scorebook for the first time as an Islanders. He had six assists entering the game. Despite Guerin's heroics, Bryan Berard scored the go-ahead goal and added two assists. Thrashers 5, Rangers 3: Should the Rangers get credit for playing with spirit in the......

Rangers 3, Capitals 1: Jaromir Jagr didn't break his scoreless drought to start the season, but he did help Scott Gomez end his. That was the first of three first-period goals -- all on the power-play -- that led the Rangers to their win. Henrik Lundqvist stopped 24 of 25 shots to pick up the win and help the Rangers even their record at 2-2. Martin Straka and defenseman Michal Rozsival also scored. Maybe it......

Cleveland 6 Yankees 4: The 2007 Yankees’ season ended as it began, in disarray. Chien-Ming Wang didn’t make it out of the second inning and while Mike Mussina was reasonably effective, he left with a 6-1 deficit. Meanwhile, Paul Byrd managed to shut down the Yankees’ offense. Somehow, Byrd pitched around 10 base runners in five innings and the Yankees squandered numerous opportunities to score. In a way, that was the story of this......

Pittsburgh 3 Rangers 2 (OT): To say New York hit a wall would be an understatement. After building a 2-0 lead through two periods, the Rangers came out and looked like they were skating in cement during the third period. They gave Pittsburgh too many chances, and the Penguins capitalized, tying the game in regulation before winning it off of a turnover in overtime. Jaromir Jagr missed the entire third period because of a leg......

Celtics 96, Nets 88 (OT): The Knicks do not have a local monopoly on losing to the Celtics. This loss was probably worse than New York's earlier this week. The Nets blew an 11-point lead with less than four minutes to play, allowing Boston to score on 10 of its last 11 possessions. By letting Boston star Paul Pierce take over, the Nets ruined their chances. Knicks 104, Hawks 100 (OT): One night after impressing......

Nets 101, Knicks 92: Vince Carter once again made the Nets happy they kept him around. He scored 40 points -- the second time in three games he's done that -- as New Jersey kept control over their cross-river rivals. As is always the case, a low-profile player helped too; Bostjan Nachbar had 15 points and 10 rebounds. And the Knicks? They worked hard to get a halftime lead but saw that go up......

Jazz 104, Knicks 102 (OT): It was a chance for the Knicks to get their 23rd win last night, matching their season total for last year. Unfortunatly, 22 turnovers and Mehmet Okur got the best of them. Despite having a 10-point lead with 5:03 left in the 4th quarter, the Jazz forced overtime. Quentin Richardson tied the game for the Knicks with 22 seconds remaining in OT, but the Jazz scored on a back door......

Nets 100, Timberwolves 92:Mikki Moore scored 20 points -- on 9-of-9 shooting no less -- to lead the Nets to their second straight win. The YES broadcast even aired a graphic comparing Moore to Minnesota superstar Kevin Garnett. (Garnett finished with 17 points on only 5-of-14 shooting.) Richard Jefferson's ankle doesn't appear to be bothering him; he had 23 points in 42 minutes. Rangers 4, Capitals 1: Finally. Henrik Lundqvist came up big between the......

Nets 91, Heat 81: Teams that score 21 straight points don't lose that often. The Nets used such a run in the third quarter to take down the Heat, who were playing without Dwyane Wade (wrist) and Shaquille O'Neal (knee). Jason Kidd, who described winning as "the best deodorant," had 17 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists as he helped his squad snap a four-game losing skid. New Jersey scored on 10 of 11......

Knicks 103, Bulls 92: So much for the Knicks' home-court woes. They beat Utah on Monday, squeaked by lowly Charlotte on Wednesday and tripped up streaking Chicago on Friday. A pair of ex-Bulls pitched in. Jamal Crawford netted 28, and Eddy Curry scored 20. Suddenly, New York's won three in a row. Last Saturday's brawl probably isn't as much to credit as people might think, but if that's the reason for their streak, the success......

--Bulls 106, Knicks 95: MSG announcer Mike Breen called the Knicks the most schizophrenic team he's ever seen. Saturday's game was another example, but no matter how much heart they've shown in these rallies, Knicks usually end up on the short end, just like they did Saturday. Every time they see the Bulls, the Knicks are reminded that Chicago has the right to swap draft picks at the end of the season, an arrangement agreed......

-Spurs 100, Knicks 92: Quentin Richardson scored 21 points, but Spurs guard Tony Parker torched the Knicks for 33 as New York lost to a Texas team for the second straight night. On Friday, it was the Knicks' interior defense that did them in; Saturday the opponents' attack was more balanced. Richardson's had a solid start to the season, but Channing Frye and Eddy Curry will need to step up to help the Knicks right......

After suffering a brutal loss to the Capitals on Saturday, the Rangers bounced back on Monday night beating the Minnesota Wild 3-1 at the Garden. Petr Prucha scored twice on the power play and looks very comfortable with his promotion to the top line. Martin Rucinsky playing in his second game since coming back from a knee injury had three assists while Henrik Lundqvist stopped 22 shots. The win expands the Rangers division lead to......
