KNICKS 91HEAT 86
It may be early in the Carmelo Anthony/Chauncey Billups marriage with the Knicks, but if the Knicks become the definition of a team, Sunday night's victory in South Beach may have done it.
The Knicks found themselves down big in the fourth quarter, but a incredible 13-2 run in the final two minutes, highlighted by a three pointer by Billups with 1:01 to go to give the Knicks an 85-84 lead, and a huge block by Amare Stoudemire of a LeBron James drive with seven seconds to go, preserved the Knicks lead, as New York came away with the win.
It was the Knicks most impressive win to date. In a season full of impressive moments this had to top it.
The Knicks got 29 points from Anthony, who was a pain for the Heat to defend all night. They got 16 points and 10 boards from Stoudemire, and 16 from Billups. In a match-up against Miami's big three of James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh, it was the Knicks big three who stepped up big when the team needed it the most.
Watch out eastern conference, the Knicks are for real, and they are gelling faster than one can imagine.
