Jeremy Lin took his show on the road -- to the tune of 23 points and 10 assists -- as the Knicks pulled away from the lowly Wizards in a 107-93 win in Washington. Lin even dunked the ball and has scored 20 or more points in three straight games. Of course, he has exploded against the Nets, the Jazz and the Wizards. Those teams average about nine wins, so everyone would be wise to take a deep breath. But Lin still has injected some intrigue to a Knicks team that looked oddly listless. They are still without Carmelo Anthony (groin injury) and Amare Stoudemire (family death), so Lin, who was cut by the Warriors and demoted by the Knicks earlier this season, will have a chance to create an even bigger foothold. more ›

Despite playing without Amare Stoudemire (who was in Florida after his brother died in a car accident) and a groin injury to Camrelo Anthony, the Knicks were able to beat the Jazz, 99-98. Jeremy Lin, making his first career start, had 28 points and may be persuading coach Mike D'Antoni that he is a viable option at point guard. Steve Novak scored 19 off the bench as part of a who's who box score for the Knicks. The win was their second straight. more ›

Despite leading for much of the game, the Knicks fell to the Celtics 91-89. Both Amar'e Stoudemire and Tyson Chandler had double-doubles, but the Boston defense stifled the Knicks down the stretch and cut off Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony. He led the Knicks with 26 points. The Knicks have lost 11 of 13 games. more ›

Ryan Callahan grew up in Rochester, just down the road from Buffalo. Wednesday he celebrated his homecoming with the winning goal in the shootout to propel the Rangers to a 1-0 win over the Sabres. Callahan's heroics might not have mattered if not for an outstanding night in the pipes by Henrik Lundqvist. Lundqvist stopped all 34 shots he faced and made two amazing saves with time running out in regulation and overtime. The win gives the Rangers three points in four nights and keeps them atop the Eastern Conference. more ›

Knicks 113, Pistons 86: With Carmelo Anthony back in the lineup, the Knicks were able to snap a three-game losing streak. Anthony had 25 points and 6 assists (!!) in the win, New York's second in its last eleven games. Luckily, they were playing Detroit, one of the teams with a more dismal record (4-19) than the Knicks (8-13). more ›

The Nets did something the Knicks couldn't the other night, win on the road in Cleveland. New Jersey won 99-96 thanks to big performances from key players. Deron Williams had 27 points and 10 assists. more ›

John Tavares entered Monday with a 12-game points streak, but the Islanders didn't score a goal in a 3-0 loss to Toronto. So ends the longest such streak in the NHL this season. The Islanders also saw their run of three straight wins snapped. Toronto scored first 1:37 into the game and never looked back. more ›

Nuggets 119, Knicks 114 (2 OT): When Mike D'Antoni and Knicks fans looked at the Denver Nuggets on the floor of Madison Square Garden, they saw what could have been — a young team thriving behind players that were in New York just a season ago. Instead, the team that graces The Garden is 6-10 and struggling under the bloated contract and horrid shooting of Carmelo Anthony. Former Knicks Danilo Gallinari (37 points) and Al Harrington (24 points) both lit up their former team. As for Carmelo? He had a double double (25 points, 10 rebounds), but was just 10 of 30 in field goal attempts. Oh, what could have been. more ›

Finally we saw a point guard at MSG. The only problem was, he was playing for Phoenix. Steve Nash showed the Knicks exactly what they were missing as he led the Suns to a 91-88 win Wednesday. Nash had 26 points to go along with 11 assists. Meanwhile, the dynamic duo of Amar’e and Carmelo went 12-for-44 from the field with seven turnovers. more ›

Carmelo Anthony was woeful from the field, shooting 9-for-27 and the Knicks had a terrible fourth quarter as they fell to Orlando 102-93. New York also didn't play much defense, allowing Orlando to shoot over 50% from the field. The loss drops New York to 6-7 which is still good enough for 2nd place in the Atlantic Division. more ›

The Rangers returned to their winning ways after a loss to Ottawa the other night. New York dominated Toronto, out-shooting them 30-20 as they cruised to a 3-0 victory. Marty Biron pitched the shutout while Mike Rupp, Brian Boyle and Derek Stepan had the Rangers' goals. more ›

Rarely do the Knicks win a low-scoring affair. But that's just what they did Wednesday in an 85-79 win over the 76ers that snapped Philadelphia's six-game winning streak. They got excellent production from Carmelo Anthony (27 points and nine rebounds) and Amare Stoudemire (20 and 10). Anthony wasn't too efficient, shooting only 9-for-24 from the floor, but the Knicks will take it. The Knicks shot 22 3-pointers but only made six of them. That's OK. They visit Memphis on Thursday. more ›

Charlotte is not a good basketball team, but they have beaten the Knicks once this season and came close to doing so again Monday night. Charlotte scored the first ten points of the game before the Knicks settled down and started to play better. Imam Shumpert made his first NBA start a good one with 16 points, six rebounds and four assists. Tyson Chandler had 20 points and 13 rebounds, partly offsetting a terrible night from the field for Carmelo and Amar'e who combined for a 16-for-43 shooting night. They were much better at the free throw line and that proved vital as Carmelo especially hit several key free throws down the stretch as the Knicks survived 91-87. more ›

Every NBA team has a tightly packed schedule this season, and the Knicks finished a stretch of three games in four nights. But building a 29-poitn lead against the Pistons helped them rest Carmelo Anthony in the fourth quarter of a 103-80 win over the Pistons. Amare Stoudemire had 22 points to lead everyone, and Mike Bibby had 16 points off the bench. more ›

The Knicks did everything they could, but even they couldn't lose to a pathetic Washington club. Carmelo Anthony hit a huge three-pointer with 15 seconds left to give the Knicks a one-point lead and they held on for a 99-96 victory. Anthony scored 37 points while Amar'e added 23, but only shot 9-for-21 from the field. The defense had another off night as they allowed Washington to shoot over 48% from the field. more ›

Amar'e Stoudemire and Iman Shumpert returned to the Knicks' lineup on Wednesday, and they gave the offense a boost. But they didn't help the defense in 118-110 loss to Charlotte. Stoudemire, who missed two games with a sprained ankle, had 25 points and 12 rebounds. Shumpert, expected to be out much longer after hurting his knee on Christmas, had 18 points off the bench. Carmelo Anthony had 32, but most of those were in garbage time. Charlotte shot 55.3 percent from the floor and made seven of 11 3-pointers. more ›

With a 99-82 loss in Los Angeles, the Knicks have now dropped nine straight games to the Lakers. Kobe Bryant, who said he enjoys his rivalry with Carmelo Anthony because he always wins, had 28 points but didn't key the fourth-quarter surge that blew the game open. Pau Gasol had 16 points and 10 rebounds. Anthony had 27 as he couldn't prevent the Knicks from falling to 1-2. Amar'e Stoudemire had 14 points. "The Lakers were good, and we're awful," Mike D'Antoni said. That's the second straight game the head coach has used that adjective. The Knicks play the Kings next. more ›

Nets fans booed by halftime and started chanting for Dwight Howard in New Jersey's 106-70 loss to the Hawks. Just as the Magic did Monday night, the Hawks jumped out to an early lead. But the comeback that happened Monday was nowhere to be found. Deron Williams had 10 points on 3-of-11 shooting. MarShon Brooks tied for the game-high with 17 points off the bench. Kris Humprhies had 11 points and six rebounds. The Nets had only 11 first-quarter points. more ›

It figures: mere hours after reports that the Nets were in "serious talks" with the Orlando Magic to trade for superstar Dwight Howard, Orlando has made it clear that they aren't planning on trading the face of their franchise (for now). For what it's worth, according to Yahoo Sports, Howard "is not a happy camper" with that decision. Which means we can all look forward to going through all this again in four months! more ›

The Nets really have the worst luck: first, Dwight Howard reportedly demanded a trade to the team last week, getting everyone excited about the prospect of a truly worthy crosstown basketball rivalry. The Nets understandably put all their other plans and trades in limbo to focus on him. Then the team was accused of tampering. Then the Chris Paul trade blew up, and the Lakers set their sights on Howard. Now, even as Howard has given the Nets hope by listing them as one of the four teams he'll sign a contract extension with, he's reportedly considering staying in Orlando after all. What's next? Is billionaire owner and Russian presidential candidate Mikhail Prokhorov going to have a mysterious "accident?" more ›

Following in the footsteps of Jay-Z, famous Italian tenor Andrea Boccelli will sing at the Barclays Center next year. And the Post notes it's quite the coup for the under-construction arena, since Boccelli had been performing his annual holiday show at Madison Square Garden. Bocelli said in a statement, "It’s always a pleasure for me to play in New York, but I’m particularly excited to perform in Brooklyn for what will be my only 2012 performance in the city that has given me such affection." more ›

Much to Justin Bieber's chagrin, Kim Kardashian is officially off the market, with the news today that she's engaged to New Jersey Nets forward Kris Humphries. Let the "K"-named babies begin! more ›
