NEW YORK – On Saturday night, things went from bad to worse for the New York Knicks. On the second night of a back to back, the Denver Nuggets came into Madison Square Garden and handed the Knicks their sixth consecutive loss, in double overtime. Danilo Gallinari scored a game high 37 points on a mere 19 field goal attempts and grabbed 8 rebounds. Al Harrington made some big shots down the stretch—including four 3-pointers—and grabbed 11 rebounds of his own. The
csprtContainer(); It was a long night for Carmelo Anthony. It began with a visit with George Karl, which ended a prolonged silence with his former coach. It continued with another poor shooting night and loss with the New York Knicks, which is becoming far too common lately. And it ended with accepting the blame for the team’s troubles and remaining defiant, which is his style, on and off the court. Facing the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night for the first time since forcing
Saturday’s matchup between the Denver Nuggets and New York Knicks could wind up being a referendum on the Carmelo Anthony trade, the tipping point of the impatience of success-starved fans at Madison Square Garden, and the end of the line for Mike D’Antoni. For the Knicks, who are 20-27 including the playoffs since acquiring Anthony last February, the tension will be palpable.

Both have eight players averaging better than eight points per game. Denver is 27-12
Prior to last night, nine of the 30 NBA teams had won at least two-thirds of their games. Now, there are 10. Welcome to the club, Paul Millsap and the Utah Jazz. When you think of players who can reel off 14 consecutive fourth-quarter points for their team in the hick of a tight contest, certain names come to mind: Kobe, D-Wade, LeBron, Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose, Dirk Nowitzki. It is what they do and what they’ve done, which is why all of them
After consecutive 11-game nights and before another 11-game slate on the league’s unofficial holiday of Martin Luther King Day, the NBA adopts its customary strategy on Sundays in January of refusing to schedule heavily against the NFL. That leaves a just three-game board, with the Utah Jazz visiting the Denver Nuggets likely the best game. Hey, it can’t be Lakers-Clippers every night. And that Broncos-Patriots game was a real thriller, huh? This is Utah’s second visit to the Mile High City. Their
We begin today with a question for those of you with advanced math skills: What are the odds of a 13-point underdog winning by 13 points? It is a pertinent question as we move toward Friday the 13th (the first of three Friday the 13ths in this leap year preceding 2013), because the New Orleans Hornets’ bad luck streak came to a big end last night in Denver as they stunned the Nuggets 94-81 to snap a six-game losing streak. The Hornets
