2008_01_zachknick.jpg

  • Knicks 89 Philadelphia 76ers 81: The Knicks enjoyed a team effort in defeating another struggling Eastern Conference team, the Sixers. Five players scored in the double digits, led by Jamal Crawford's 18 pounts and Zach Randolph's 16 points and 14 rebounds. Coach Isiah Thomas said, "We have good shot distribution, everyone feels part of the game, everyone gets to touch the basketball." more ›

Last Night's Action: Removing Some of the Sour Taste

Last Night's Action: Removing Some of the Sour Taste

  • Sixers 92, Knicks 90: Two missed free throws by Kyle Korver, the top foul shooter in the NBA, gave the Knicks a shot at a win, but Stephon Marbury missed a three-pointer at the buzzer and his team lost for the seventh time in eight games. He had 30 points but missed 13 shots, and things have not looked this bleak for the Knicks since well before Coach Isiah Thomas received a contract extension. Maybe the Garden was too hasty on that one?

    Last Night's Action: Nets Wake Up Just In Time

    Last Night's Action: Nets Wake Up Just In Time

  • Knicks 111, Sonics 93: Eddy Curry carried the load again by scoring 27 points in 30 minutes. and Stephon Marbury decided to contribute a team-high 28. The team finished its trip through the West at 2-3, but that feels a lot better when the last two games were the wins. The Post and The Times have both recently addressed why David Lee hasn't been starting over Jared Jeffries. With Friday's win, New York is now 9-15 when he comes off the bench and 8-8 when he starts. If Coach Isiah Thomas wants to use him for 35 minutes off the bench every night, that might work. But if Lee loses minutes to Jeffries, it will be a severe disappointment. Lee and Curry are the two bright spots on the team this season.

    Last Night's Action: Knicks Won't Leave West Empty-Handed

    Last Night's Action: Knicks Won't Leave West Empty-Handed

    • Knicks 99, Blazers 81: When the Knicks win, they can usually thank Eddy Curry. The big man took congratulations again for leading the Knicks to a victory in Portland, their first on this five-game West Coast swing. After seeing his team drop games to the Suns, Clippers and Kings, Curry helped his team stop the bleeding by dumping 27. Jamal Crawford -- who, behind Curry, might be the most consistent Knick -- had 25. Knicks fans should also be happy to see that David Lee logged one more minute than Jared Jeffries, even in a blowout. Lee has outperformed Jeffries in every way possible since the higher-paid player came back from his wrist injury. But the Knicks would be a better team if Coach Isiah Thomas weren't so stubborn and let Lee's merits outweigh Jeffries' income.

    Last Night's Action: Knicks win after three overtimes

  • Senators 2, Islanders 0: So Rick DiPietro does give up goals. His perfect streak was stopped after more than 156 minutes. The fans booed Alexei Yashin whenever he touched the puck, but that didn't help the Islanders create more than 18 shots on goal.

    Last Night's Action: Carter, Nets Outshine Cavs' James

  • Knicks 111, Bobcats 109 (2OT): Who would've thought that David Lee would be tipping in game-winning baskets at the end of second overtimes? It was a good night for the draft class of 2005; Lee won the game after Channing Frye poured in 30 points on 14-of-26 shooting. Only eight Knicks played -- thanks to plenty of brawl-related suspensions -- and Frye, Stephon Marbury and Jamal Crawford each logged over 50 minutes. With such a depleted bench, Coach Isiah Thomas will take a hard-fought win against one of the league's worst after a win over the elite Utah Jazz on Monday.
