Knicks had an easy win against the Celtics with Van Horn not being 100% and playing with Allan Houston. Stephon Marbury had 17 points and 7 assists. Van Horn and Anderson had 16 points each. Mutombo had 10 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks in the game. http://www.nba.com/games/20040130/NYKBOS/boxscore.html note: We are one game behind the Celtics in the Atlantic Divison. Next 5 games: Phoenix @ Indiana @ Miami LA Clippers @ Dallas
Paul Pierce shot 3-16? Horrible. If Pierce isn't on, Celtics won't win. Looks like Knicks are learning how to play some team ball. Marbury seems to be helping, and once the team knows him 100%, he'll get his assists to 10.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting franchise3:</div><div class="quote_post">Ming if you do this every game why don't you write Knicks previews.</div> I don't really do this every game, seems like a tough job to do the previews, so I just do the post game news.
Previews aren't hard, just a little time consuming. Anyway, big win for the Knicks. Not only pulling closer in the standings, but sending a message to the Celtics. But more important that the Knicks' next five is the Celtics' next five... @ Indiana LA Clippers Atlanta @ Philadelphia @ Cleveland Those last two start a 7 game road trip for them, which they're bound to do no better than 2-5 on. This is where the Knicks will pull ahead.
