Wow. The Knick's won. Not only did they win, they came back to win. After trailing in double digits early in the third quarter the Knicks scored 11 straight to get back within nine points. They hovered around that mark for half of the fourth quarter, but Al Harrington got hot and the Knicks won by seven.
Several developments came out of this game. First, Eddy Curry got into the game. He was not in basketball shape but you can see that he lost a lot of weight and cared to be out there. At one point in the game the Knicks were +9 in points while Curry was on the court. He got into foul trouble quick due to his lack of stamina, but their were some good signs.
Wilson Chandler broke out of his slump but he also got into foul trouble, and had to leave the game early. Chandler was hot in the first half, and it was good sign to see him come out and score.
Larry Hughes is not a conventional point guard, but D'Antoni may have to play him at point guard instead of Chris Duhon. Hughes was three assists away from a triple double, scoring 22 points, and grabbing 10 rebounds.
The biggest development was the fact that the Knicks actually didn't give up and came back to win the game. They played better defense in the third quarter after the Pacers took a big lead. The defense was the key to the victory, and that was especially the case in the second half.
Oh, and the Nets fell to 0-12, oh well.
