Knicks-Clippers Preview

The New York Knicks ended a 10-game road losing streak against the Los Angeles Clippers last season. Winning at Staples Center could be easier this time around.

The Knicks will look for their first three-game winning streak of the season Saturday night when they try to hand the league-worst Clippers a ninth straight loss.

New York (5-8) beat Los Angeles (1-12) for the first time at Staples Center with a 113-107 victory April 4. The Knicks' two leading scorers in that game - David Lee and Al Harrington - are no longer with the team, as they made a major offseason overhaul with the additions of Amare Stoudemire and Raymond Felton.

Felton scored a career-high 35 points and handed out 11 assists while Stoudemire had 26 and 11 rebounds in Friday's 125-119 victory at Golden State. New York lost its sixth straight in Denver on Tuesday to start this four-game trip before beating Sacramento and the Warriors to notch consecutive wins for the second time.

"We've got an opportunity to make this a special trip," Stoudemire said. "After the slow start, we're starting to get our momentum, starting to get our swagger and our identity, (figure out) what type of team we are. And in the process, we're getting a few.

"So if we can go into L.A. and get this win, it'll be a great trip for us and we'll be on the right track."

Los Angeles is without its top two scorers from its last meeting against New York. Chris Kaman is out with a sprained left ankle and Baron Davis has a sore left knee.

The lack of experience has been a major factor for a team seeking to avoid its first nine-game slide since dropping 12 in a row from Dec. 20, 2008-Jan. 14, 2009.

"We need to get some guys back to get some help," first-year Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said. "They're double-teaming Blake (Griffin). We're not making them pay for that at times."

Griffin will likely match up with Stoudemire as he endures a rough stretch in his rookie season, averaging 14.7 points over the last six games.

"Something's got to change," Griffin said. "We have to keep working, but we can't just keep working and keep losing. A lot of times, it's not even the physical stuff. It comes down to who wants it more. We need to find that."

The Clippers return home after a 107-80 loss at Indiana on Thursday. They started three rookies - Griffin, Al-Farouq Aminu and Eric Bledsoe - and the oldest was 22-year old DeAndre Jordan.

"We're close to a lot of these teams that we're playing," said leading scorer Eric Gordon, averaging 23.2 points. "But it seems like we let teams off the hook some times. Yeah, we're a young team. Just have to keep trying to find a way to get us some wins."

No team has shot more 3-pointers than New York's 315. Those shots should be fairly open against a Clippers defense that ranks last in the NBA in allowing opponents to shoot 43.8 percent from beyond the arc.

Knicks hand Clippers ninth straight loss

Posted Nov 21 2010 2:36AM

LOS ANGELES(AP) The New York Knicks were sorry to leave California, though happy to get away from Blake Griffin.

The Los Angeles Clippers' talented rookie had career highs of 44 points and seven assists while pulling down 15 rebounds. But Amare Stoudemire had 39 points and 11 rebounds, Danilo Gallinari scored 17 of his career high-tying 31 points in the fourth quarter, and the Knicks completed a three-game California sweep with a 124-115 victory on Saturday night against the team with the NBA's worst record.

"Athletically, I think we saw probably the best you can be - from both teams," Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni said. "Griffin had some dunks that you don't see very often. But we had Amare, Danilo and Raymond (Felton), and that was a little bit too much. Everybody contributed something, and that's how it has to be."

Felton had 20 points, one night after scoring a career-high 35 against the Warriors. Wilson Chandler, the first player off the Knicks' bench, scored 10 points before fouling out with 3:37 left.

With center Chris Kaman missing his sixth straight game with a sprained left knee and point guard Baron Davis sidelined for the 10th time in 11 games with a swollen left knee, the Clippers were unable to contain Stoudemire and Felton.

But Griffin gave the crowd of 18,325 something worth remembering with 5:40 left in the third quarter - an in-your-face posterizing of Russian rookie Timofey Mozgov on a driving slam dunk in which Griffin balanced himself by putting his left hand on the right side of Mozgov's face in the air. The first overall pick in the 2009 draft completed the three-point play after Mozgov's face was called for a foul.

"Randy (Foye) passed the ball to me at the right time and Mozgov kind of helped me get up a little bit once I got on top of him," Griffin said. "I just tried to throw it in because I knew I couldn't get it to the rim."

The play created a buzz that carried into the Knicks' dressing room.

"That was actually incredible," Stoudemire said. "That was a play that definitely sparked the crowd and sparked us. We weren't expecting that. I've had a few of those in my career, so I can understand the feeling he's going through right now. I've been in those shoes before.

"I remember when Blake was in college and he attended my skills academy camp. I definitely saw a lot of me in him then," Stoudemire said. "He's playing well for a rookie. This is his breakout game, and he's going to be very good."

The Knicks, who ended a six-game losing streak with consecutive road wins over the Kings and Warriors, won three games in California on the same trip for the first time. The Golden State has had at least three NBA teams since the 1978-79 season, when the Buffalo Braves moved to San Diego and were renamed the Clippers.

"The Warriors beat us in New York, so we knew that was going to be a tough game for us," Stoudemire said. "We've lost to some other teams that were in the same categories as those three teams, so we knew this trip was going to be a challenge for us regardless. And we wanted to make sure we set a tone early."

Stoudemire, who signed a five-year contract worth nearly $100 million in July after leaving the Phoenix Suns as a free agent, is averaging 26.9 points over his last seven games. The transition hasn't been easy for the five-time All-Star, who publicly questioned his teammates' heart following a home loss to Houston last Sunday.

"This was a fun game to play in, especially because of the fact that we won. It was like a video game," Stoudemire said. "There were very exciting plays on the court, but the positive from this is that we're on a three-game winning streak and our chemistry's now starting to come together. We showed how good we can be and what it takes to win, and we're showing winning qualities. We've just got to keep it going."

Eric Gordon had 25 points for the Clippers (1-13), off to their worst start since opening the lockout-delayed 1999 season 0-17. They have dropped nine in a row under new coach Vinny Del Negro since beating Oklahoma City 107-92 - the team's longest skid since a 12-game drought two seasons ago.

The Knicks, who lost their first 10 games against the Clippers at Staples Center before ending that drought with a 113-107 win last April, led by as many as 14 midway through the third. The Clippers got as close as 113-108 on a spinning dunk by Griffin around Gallinari, but the Knicks pulled away again.

"I was just trying to help the team at a moment where the team needed me to help them," Gallinari said. "The fourth quarter is the most important part of the game, especially when you're playing a tight game. I was trying to read the defense and their defense was giving me that shot, so I was taking it."

There was an enormous disparity at the foul line during the first 21 minutes. The Knicks were 14 for 16 at that point, while the Clippers' only free throw came on a three-point play by Gordon with 8:38 left in the second quarter. That imbalance, plus 13 turnovers by Los Angeles, helped the Knicks take a 58-53 halftime lead.

New York finished 43 for 51 on free throws and the Clippers were 22 for 29.

"We were smart and were using our experience to read the defense and get to the foul line, and we did a good job of it," Gallinari said. "We have a lot of talent and a lot of experience. We were trying to play our game. Raymond was controlling things, and we were following him and following Amare."

NOTES: The Knicks began this four-game trip with a loss at Denver. ... None of the teams the Knicks have beaten - Toronto, Chicago, Washington, Sacramento, Golden State and the Clippers - finished above .500 last season. Their combined record was 187-305. ... The Knicks have had nine straight losing seasons since going 48-34 in 2000-01. The only franchises with longer streaks that didn't include the lockout-shortened '99 campaign were the Kansas City-Sacramento Kings (15) and the San Diego-L.A. Clippers (12).

THE FACTS: The New York Knicks survived a breakout game Saturday night by Clippers rookie Blake Griffin, mainly because third-year forward Danilo Gallinari had one of his own, helping the Knicks to a 124-115 victory at Staples Center.

QUOTABLE: "We have to get him some help,"
-- Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said of Griffin

THE STAT: Griffin scored 44 points, the most by a Clipper since Elton Brand scored that many in February 2006. He also led the team with 15 rebounds and a season-high seven assists.

TURNING POINT: After falling behind by 14 points midway through the third quarter, the Clippers cut the deficit to five with 8:32 remaining. That's when Gallinari took over, scoring his team's next 10 points to keep the Clippers at bay. Gallinari matched his career-high with 31 points.

QUOTE II: "I thought the difference in the game was Gallinari hitting some big, timely shots against us." -- Del Negro

HOT: As hot as Griffin and Gallinari were, Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire was just as sizzling, shooting 14-for-24 and scoring a season-high 39 points. He also grabbed a team-high 11 rebounds.

NOT: Knicks guard Raymond Felton was about the only player who couldn't get his rhythm going, shooting 6-for-16. However, he made up for it on defense by matching his career high with seven steals.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Take your pick. In addition to the performances by Griffin, Stoudemire and Gallinari, Clippers guard Eric Gordon also had a pretty good game, scoring 25 points on 11-for-20 shooting.

GOOD MOVE: The highlight of the night for Clipper fans was a steal by Griffin, who began a 360-degree rotation at the top of the key and finished it with a thunderous dunk on top of Gallinari.

BAD MOVE: Knicks center Ronny Turiaf played more minutes than back-up Timofey Mozgov and didn't have anything to show for it, totaling two points and three rebounds in just over 17 minutes.

ROOKIE WATCH: For one of the few times since taking over for the injured Baron Davis at point guard, rookie Eric Bledsoe looked like he had trouble with the fast pace of the game, committing five turnovers and collecting four assists and no steals.

NOTABLE: The Knicks shot 51 free throws and made 43. The Clippers shot 29 and made 22.

UP NEXT: For the Clippers, Monday vs. New Orleans, Thursday vs. Sacramento, Friday @ Phoenix. For the Knicks, Tuesday vs. Charlotte, Wednesday @ Charlotte, Saturday vs. Atlanta.
