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 ›

The Super Bowl wasn't the only event involving local teams on Sunday — there were also two hockey games. At Madison Square Garden, the Rangers defeated the Flyers, 5-2, for the fourth consecutive time this season and the sixth time in a row going back to last season. In a physical game with four fights, the Rangers pulled away from a 2-2 tie with Philadelphia by scoring three goals in the 3rd period. 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 ›

The Knicks kicked off a stretch of three games in three nights by almost beating the Bulls. New York had several shots at tying the game in the waning seconds, but couldn't connect and Chicago prevailed 104-102. Amar'e may have had his best game of the season, scoring 34 points and pulling down 11 rebounds. Carmelo poured in 26, but had another off night shooting, hitting only 10-for-26. The defense didn't show up again as Chicago shot 52% from the field. New York faces Boston tonight on the road. 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 Knicks again played without Anthony, and they lost again, this time 97-84 to the Rockets in Houston. Amar'e Stoudemire had 23 points and Tyson Chandler had 14, but Carmelo Anthony sat out again with an injured thumb. The Knicks have lost nine of 10 (and three straight). Baron Davis may make his Knicks debut Tuesday, but will he really turn this around? One night after taking an NBA season-high 43 3-pointers, the Knicks made only five of 26 shots from beyond the arc. 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 ›

File under the is this really real? category: a man has posted a plea on Craigslist, offering $500 for someone ("preferably from someone who was a quarterback in college or the pros") to teach him about this whole football thing before The Big Game. And naturally it's because he doesn't want to be embarrassed in front of his lady friend (because women will break up with you if you don't love sports enough). He writes: more ›

In a season without many signature wins, Wednesday's 97-90 overtime win over the 76ers could be the best victory of the season for the Nets. Williams capped his 34-point effort with a 3-pointer with 26.8 seconds remaining in the extra session. Kris Humphries had 19 rebounds (and 13 points for good measure) and and Anthony Morrow had 16 points. (MarShon Brooks is still out with an Achilles injury.) The Nets apparently have a new motto, "I love it." Do they love being the No. 10 seed in the Eastern Conference? 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 ›

The fight between MSG and Time Warner Cable—the latter of which blocked channels from the former on January 1—continues unabated and fans are now coming up with interesting ways to get their Knicks-fix. Like, actually buying tickets to the games. Meanwhile, Time Warner Cable is rolling out fancy toys as a way to keep its customers placated (Fred Wilson, are you happy now?). 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 ›

In a 100-86 defeat at the hands of the Bucks on Friday night, the Knicks handed Milwaukee its first road win of the season and lost for the fifth straight time. They heard boos from the Garden crowd as Brandon Jennings poured in 36 points and helped get Carmelo Anthony ejected. Anthony did have 35 points before picking up his second technical foul late in the fourth quarter, but his friends didn't help. The Knicks have averaged 88.4 points during their losing streak. Scoring points was not supposed to be this team's problem. Amar'e Stoudemire had 15 points and 11 rebounds. more ›
