<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire picked and rolled the Knicks right out of their own building in the second half last night. Eventually, the sluggish Phoenix Suns were going to find their rhythm and separate themselves from an inferior opponent. "In the blink of an eye," is how David Lee described the Suns' ability to turn a game around. That moment arrived in the third as the Suns took the lead for good and then held off a late Knicks rally for a 112-107 victory. That quarter was a defining moment for Eddy Curry's night as well. Curry had dominated in the first half, but as Stoudemire began attacking the Knicks center and the Suns were starting to get loose, Curry began to feel tightness in his left calf. By early in the fourth, Curry was finished with a strained calf and suddenly the Knicks had lost more than just a game. "I don't want to miss any games this year," Curry said. "I want to play every single game this year." With Stephon Marbury already out with a sore left knee, Curry's abrupt departure with 10:40 left to play meant the Knicks were fighting the NBA's second-best team without their two best players. And they may have to get by without Marbury and Curry tomorrow against Shaquille O'Neal and the Miami Heat. "At this point, no, we're feeling pretty good about me playing Friday," said Curry, after meeting with the medical staff. "We just have to see what happens." Marbury has already ruled himself fit for tomorrow's rematch against the Heat. However, after the point guard felt he would be available to face Miami on Monday, he pulled himself out of the lineup after the first half. A loss to Miami would put the 18-26 Knicks a season-high nine games under .500.</div> Source
