The New York Knicks’ (8-16) 4-game win streak came to an end Tuesday night, as they fell to the Charlotte Bobcats (10-13) on the road.  The Knicks had an 8-point lead going into the 4th quarter, but were outscored 28-13 in the final quarter to lose the game.  Turnovers really hurt the Knicks in this one, with the Bobcats scoring 29 points off 21 Knick turnovers.  They shot 45% from the field, but they jacked up 25 threes and only hit 7 of them (28%).  The scoring was balanced, with all five starters scoring in double figures.  Chris Duhon led the way with 18 points, 6 assists, and 3 rebounds.  They only got 15 points from their bench.  Stephen Jackson led the Bobcats with 24 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals.

The Knicks really have to look at benching starting point guard Chris Duhon who has been awful so far this season. Duhon has played in 23 games (all starts) for the Knicks this season and he is averaging 34.0 minutes, 8.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game. Duhon is also only shooting 32.8% from the floor as teams are just packing the paint and letting him shoot bricks. The Knicks don’t have many good alternatives to starting in the place of Duhon and Larry Hughes and Nate Robinson are shooting guards. Maybe the Knicks should just tell Duhon to pass the ball more until his shot starts coming around because he is hurting the team right now.

The Knicks shot 55.1% from the floor last night and they outscored the Hornets 60-34 in the second half earning them a very impressive road win. Al Harrington led the way for the Knicks last night with 28 points and 7 rebounds. Chris Duhon was great running the offense last night with 22 points, 2 rebounds and 9 assists. Wilson Chandler pitched in with 20 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocked shots. The Knicks are now 8-15 on the year.

The Knicks built up a 78-55 lead in the first three quarters last night before cruising to a very easy victory. Larry Hughes led the way for the Knicks last night with 21 points and 6 rebounds. David Lee was solid as usual for the Knicks last night with 17 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists. Danilo Gallinari pitched in with 14 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocked shots off the bench last night. The Knicks are now 7-15 on the year and they are starting to look better as of late.

The Knicks outrebounded the Nets 48-32 yesterday and they outscored them 53-36 in the second half to pull away from the Nets. Al Harrington led the way for the Knicks with 26 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists. David Lee also had a solid game with 24 points, 9 rebounds and 1 assist. Larry Hughes pitched in with 25 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists off the bench for the Knicks yesterday. The Knicks are now 6-15 on the season.

The Knicks outscored the Hawks 31-23 in the 4th quarter last night and they shot 57.7% from the floor which explains the big win in Atlanta. Al Harrington led the way for the Knicks with 27 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist. Chris Duhon had one of the best games of his NBA career last night with 25 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists. David Lee was outstanding again last night with 18 points, 17 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. Wilson Chandler pitched in with 18 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. The Knicks are now 5-15 on the year.

The New York Knicks (4-15) played poor defense once again and fell to the Orland Magic (15-4) last night on the road.  The Knicks had a rough first half and only scored 16 points in the second quarter.  The Knicks have not had too many problems scoring points though, and it has been their defense and rebounding that has been hurting them.  David Lee seems to be the only who hits the boards hard, but he only had 6 rebounds last night.  The Knicks were out-rebounded 46-36 and they let the Magic shoot 55% from the field.  Wilson Chandler was the Knicks’ top player last night with 24 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal.  It wasn’t enough though, as Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis both had double-doubles.  The Knicks really have to get better at making stops if they ever want to get out of the basement of the Eastern Conference.

Knicks’ center David Lee knows that he’s got a gold pot of cash waiting for him at the end of this season and he’s showing teams what they will get for it if they sign him. Lee has played in 18 games (all starts) for the Knicks this season and he is averaging 33.2 minutes, 18.5 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.3 steals per game. Lee is also shooting 55.6% from the floor this season so far for the Knicks.

The Knicks outrebounded the Suns last night 50-40 as they really seemed to want to win this game for Coach D’Antoni against his old team. Danilo Gallinari led the way for the Knicks last night with 27 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocked shots. David Lee was also very solid in this game with 24 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 steals. Al Harrington pitched in with 22 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist in only 24 minutes off the bench. The Knicks are now 4-14 on the year.
