Wizards-Knicks Preview

New York fans haven't had much to cheer about lately with the Knicks wrapping up a sixth straight season without a playoff berth.

At least they've still been able to beat the lowly Washington Wizards on their home court.

In their final contest of the season at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks look to win a fifth straight home game over the Wizards on Monday night.

New York (28-52) hasn't had a winning record since going 48-34 in 2001, and these last couple of seasons have been especially brutal. The Knicks have lost at least 49 games each season since their last playoff appearance in 2004.

New York is hoping to get things turned around next season by signing one of the top free agents over the summer, but it still has two more games to go before turning its full attention to that task.

The Knicks, who wrap up the regular season Wednesday at Toronto, are coming off Sunday's 111-98 loss at Miami, their seventh defeat in nine games.

David Lee scored 26 points and Danilo Gallinari had 19 for the Knicks, who dropped all three meetings to the Heat this season.

New York has fared better against the Wizards, going 2-1 against them and winning all four meetings at MSG since the start of the 2007-08 season. The Knicks are averaging 115.5 points during this home winning streak with Lee averaging 24.7 points and 10.7 rebounds in the last three.

While New York is winding down another forgettable season, things have been even worse for the Wizards.

Washington (25-55) lost a franchise-worst 16 straight games March 3-30, and has played much of the season in the shadow of Gilbert Arenas' suspension for bringing guns to the team's locker room at the Verizon Center back in December.

The Wizards were showing signs of turning things around, though, winning four of six before losing to Atlanta 105-95 on Saturday.

The score was tied at 78 after three quarters, but Washington couldn't find its shot over the final 12 minutes, making six of 19 from the field (31.6 percent) after shooting 56.7 percent through the first three periods.

"Teams that make the playoffs have guys that make plays in the fourth quarters,'' Wizards coach Flip Saunders said. "Teams that aren't playoff-type teams have guys that are inconsistent in making those plays. That's the difference between being good and not-so good."

Andray Blatche finished with 24 points, nine rebounds and seven assists after scoring 31 in Friday's 106-96 win at Boston. He had 26 points and a career-best 18 boards in a 118-116 overtime loss to the Knicks on Feb. 26, the last meeting between these teams.

Fourth-quarter rally propels Knicks past Wizards

NEW YORK (NBA.com exclusive) -- David Lee wasn't on the court for most of the fourth quarter in what could have been his last home game in a Knicks uniform.

But at least he went out on a winning note.

Lee sat out the final 10 minutes 45 seconds as the Knicks rallied from a 10-point fourth quarter deficit to beat the Washington Wizards, 114-103, in their final game this season at Madison Square Garden.

After trailing 92-83 in the fourth quarter, the Knicks used a 20-2 game-turning run, highlighted by nine points from reserve guard Sergio Rodriguez, to go ahead 103-94 and take control for good.

"All of me wanted to get a victory tonight and Sergio and Gallo caught fire from the outside after a little bit of a slow start tonight. They did a great job in the fourth quarter and that's what matters. I'd gladly trade in any double-double or anything I had this year for a couple more victories at the end," said Lee, who finished with a game-high 26 points and eight rebounds and will become an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Danilo Gallinari, scoreless at the half, finished with 24 points in the second half, including 14 in the fourth quarter, when the Knicks outscored the Wizards, 40-21.

Asked about leaving Lee on the bench down the stretch, Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni said: "Those guys turned the game around and it didn't seem fair to take those guys out. I'm sure David didn't care."

The Knicks (29-52) can reach the 30-win plateau by closing out the regular season with a win in Toronto Wednesday.

The Knicks have lost 50+ games in four of the last six seasons, and in the other two years they lost 49 times.

As Lee sat on the bench down the stretch, the fans chanted his name, hoping D'Antoni would give him one last run.

"I've been on the floor so much at the Garden. To also get a chance to watch a little bit and sort of be a fan and cheer our guys on in the last six or seven minutes, it was pretty special," said Lee. "It was a night I'll remember and it was a good night and once again I'm just glad we won."

The Knicks have just four players under contract for next season: Gallinari, Toney Douglas, Wilson Chandler and Eddy Curry.

Team president Donnie Walsh hopes to radically alter the roster this summer on the free agent market.

Walsh is armed with more than $30 million to potentially spend on two max-contract free agents, with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh the top targets.

Lee will likely have to wait and see what those players do before his situation is settled.

Of course, another team could also come in and steal him away while the Knicks are focused on the big fish.

"If the Knicks aren't able to get any of the good free agents, I'd like to still stick around," Lee joked. "It's going to be another interesting summer, probably the most interesting summer that the NBA's had in years and years just because of the number of teams with cap space. There's bound to be a lot of movement amongst players."

One player who could be in the mix at a reduced rate is seven-time All-Star Tracy McGrady, who sat out the home finale with a sore left knee and was generally disappointing in his short tenure with the Knicks.

Several other players acquired during the season who D'Antoni seems intrigued by are Rodriguez, who scored all 12 of his points in the fourth quarter; wing Bill Walker (nine points) and 7-footer Earl Barron, who recently agreed to his second 10-day contract with the Knicks and finished with eight points and 13 rebounds.

Asked if he had a message for the fans going forward, D'Antoni said: "They need to hang in there a little bit with us. And hopefully we'll get the job done. It's going to be a tough summer, no doubt about it. They've hung this long, they might as well hang a few more months, see what happens."
