It was our worst game of the season and we played like third string high schooler's, we could not sink any buckets and just played horribly on both ends. Box score: http://www.nba.com/games/20040207/NYKMIA/boxscore.html <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">This time, the Heat did not double-team Marbury, and the star point guard scored 16 points on 5-of-9 shooting as the Knicks built a 43-36 halftime lead. In the second half, Van Gundy changed his strategy, and Marbury adjusted, taking just one shot and leaving it to his teammates to produce. Most of his assists came on pick and rolls with Thomas, who made four open jumpers off passes from Marbury and scored 10 points in the third quarter. "Stephon early in the game was going crazy," Van Gundy said. "Our choice was on pick and rolls to trap Stephon and make him give the ball up. Sometimes we got to Kurt quick enough, sometimes we didn't. He did a great job making shots." "Stephon is starting to take over and run the show," Wilkens said. "The key today is he adjusted to what the defense was doing. Kurt had a hot hand and Stephon kept getting him the ball." The Heat, who played without rookie guard Dwyane Wade (left foot sprain) for the second straight game, shot a season-low 30.5 percent from the field, including just 1-of-15 three-pointers. They matched a season low in points, including a meager 10 in the fourth quarter. </div> Click here for the rest of the recap. The highlight of it was when I got to shake Walt Clyde Frazier's hand about 90 minutes prior to tipoff . I just wish I brought a ball to get autographed, oh well.
