Magic-Knicks Preview

The New York Knicks have matched their longest losing streak of the season at six. They're probably playing the wrong opponent as they to try to end it.

Dwight Howard has dominated New York during the Orlando Magic's six-game win streak in the series and he'll be the focal point Monday night at Madison Square Garden.

New York (35-38) is mired in its third six-game slide as it tries to avoid its longest one since dropping eight in a row Feb. 5-23, 2010. The Knicks, however, remain secure for a playoff spot in seventh place in the Eastern Conference.

"I'm not too concerned about that," forward Carmelo Anthony said about missing the playoffs. "We've gotta win a couple of games, the playoffs will be there. For the most part, I'm just worrying about everyone getting on the same page before that playoff run starts."

The immediate concern Monday will be trying to slow down Howard, who's averaging 25.8 points on 67.1 percent shooting and 14.0 rebounds during Orlando's six-game win streak over New York. He's been dominant in two meetings since the Knicks acquired Anthony and Chauncey Billups, taking advantage of a smaller New York frontcourt to average 31.5 points and 13.5 rebounds.

That includes Wednesday's 111-99 victory at MSG. Howard had 33 points and 11 boards, and helped limit Amare Stoudemire to a season-low 13 points on 6-of-20 shooting.

Howard had plenty of sympathy afterward for Stoudemire, who went 7-0 at home against Orlando while with Phoenix.

"Right now, I understand that team is under a lot of pressure, and sometimes a guy like Amare, he wants to do as much as he can to bring the team out," Howard said. "I encourage him to stay patient and stick with it."

Stoudemire is averaging 19.3 points on 41.1 percent shooting during this skid. He made 4 of 13 shots for 14 points while Anthony had 36 in Saturday's 114-106 loss at Charlotte.

It's clear that the superstars are having trouble coexisting, although Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni believes his team's problems can be solved.

"There is a little anxiety and there is a little 'oh my gosh,'" D'Antoni said. "But I think the locker room's great and I think they know where we are, they realize the situation. And Monday we got Orlando to rectify it. We still have our goals of making the playoffs and doing something in the playoffs."

The Knicks will catch a break if Jameer Nelson is unavailable for Orlando (47-26). Nelson didn't return for the second half of Friday's 95-85 win over New Jersey after spraining his left knee.

"Hopefully he's OK because I saw what happened and it looked kind of bad," Howard told the Magic's official website. "He was walking OK (after the game). He's getting old and the older you get, the harder it is to recover from minor injuries."

Nelson is averaging 18.3 points on 56.8 percent shooting while helping Orlando go 3-0 against New York this season.

The Magic have won five straight overall as they close in on home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. Howard is shooting 69.5 percent and averaging 25.8 points and 16.4 boards in this run.

Anthony scores 39, Knicks top Magic in OT

NEW YORK (AP) Carmelo Anthony seemed caught up in the panic surrounding the New York Knicks when he declared their game Monday was "almost a must win."

Then he stayed calm when he missed a potential game-winner, and the Knicks let the Orlando Magic lose their poise in overtime.

Anthony scored 39 points, his best effort since coming to New York, and the Knicks pulled out a 113-106 overtime victory to snap a six-game losing streak.

Hours after placing elevated importance on the game, Anthony added 10 rebounds, and the Knicks got some help when Dwight Howard fouled out in the extra session, then picked up his NBA-leading 17th technical foul.

"I said that. That's how I felt, that's how we felt as a team, that it was a must win for us," Anthony said. "We, as a team, backed it up tonight."

Amare Stoudemire had 20 points for the Knicks, who won for just the second time in 11 games and inched closer to their first playoff berth since 2004.

The Knicks improved to 8-12 since acquiring Anthony from Denver. Though the questions about the deal have grown louder as the Knicks struggle, the All-Star forward showed why the team wanted him by scoring 33 points after halftime.

"Carmelo helped, he was on fire out there." Stoudemire said. "They had no answer for him, and then we played great defensively, we got after it, chasing down loose balls, really, really showing the effort to want to win and it showed tonight."

Howard rebounded from a quiet first half to finish with 29 points and 18 rebounds, but Orlando didn't score after he picked up his sixth foul going for a rebound with 1:17 remaining in a two-point game, then tossed the ball into the backcourt after the whistle.

"There's nothing you can do about it now. I just went for the rebound," Howard said.

"I think that should have been a delay of game," he added of the tech. "Every time you roll the ball down the court, they usually call a delay of game, but it's cool, you know. I'll try to get it rescinded. If not, I'll just have to continue to play."

Jason Richardson made the tying 3-pointer in regulation and scored 24 for the Magic, who had a five-game winning streak snapped and lost for only the third time in 16 games against the Knicks. Hedo Turkoglu scored 18 points, but he also fouled out, leaving the Magic furious with the officiating down the stretch.

"I thought our guys fought hard and stayed in the game and gave ourselves a chance to win," Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. "I think it's a shame we weren't able to get it done."

Chauncey Billups made the go-ahead 3-pointer with 3:16 left in overtime, then Anthony was alone after an Orlando miss for a dunk and a 108-104 lead with 2:46 remaining. Howard cut it to two by tipping in his own miss, but he was whistled for No. 6 when Billups went down as Howard tried to grab another offensive board.

Howard then was hit with the tech for tossing the ball into the backcourt, moving him one away from another one-game suspension, and Billups made the free throw for a three-point lead.

"I mean 99.9 percent when you throw the ball down the other side, it's a delay of game warning," Gilbert Arenas said. "They've got to call it how they see it. You can't put too much on what they do. They're human, too. The calls they see is the calls they're going to make."

The Magic then got another bad break when Richardson was called for an offensive foul away from the ball on Anthony after they became tangled, negating what would have been a tying 3-point basket by Turkoglu.

The Knicks finished it off at the line as the Magic players on the bench yelled their frustration toward the referees and fans.

Billups scored 17 and Toney Douglas had 16 for the Knicks, who shook things up Monday by holding their first morning shootaround at home this season. It was there that Anthony said the game was "almost a must win."

They did by finally beating the Magic in a game that was postponed Nov. 2, after debris fell into the arena during an overnight cleaning of asbestos-related materials.

Anthony made another with a hand in his face for a 96-90 lead with 2:03 to play in regulation. The Magic closed to 98-97 on a 3-pointer by Arenas with 32 seconds remaining, but Anthony drove and found Douglas along the baseline, and his short jumper counted when Howard was called for goaltending with 10.2 seconds left.

Richardson nailed a 3 to tie it at 100 with 5.7 to go - aided by defender Jared Jeffries not even putting his hands up to contest - and Anthony was just short trying to follow his own miss, sending it to overtime.

The Magic were without point guard Jameer Nelson because of a sprained left knee, giving Arenas his first start with Orlando but robbing the Magic of perhaps their best clutch player. Backup forward Quentin Richardson (back spasms) also was out and reserve guard J.J. Redick (lower abdominal strain) remains out, leaving the Magic thin on the perimeter.

Notes: Van Gundy said he expected both Nelson and Quentin Richardson to play this week, but said Redick's injury is "a little more problematic." He missed his ninth straight game Monday. ... Howard was chosen Monday as last week's Eastern Conference player of the week. ... A Knicks dancer presented Knicks Hall of Fame guard and current TV analyst Walt Frazier with a jar of Snickers, his favorite candy, as a gift for his birthday Tuesday.

THE FACTS: In a game he called "almost a must win," Carmelo Anthony scored a game-high 39 points to go with 10 rebounds and the Knicks snapped a six-game losing streak by beating Orlando, 113-106, in overtime at Madison Square Garden. New York, the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference, won for just the second time in its last 11 outings.

QUOTABLE: "I said that...that is how I felt...that is how we felt as a team that it was a must win for us. We as a team backed it up tonight. We showed when we play with energy and intensity, we just play hard a lot of things fall into place for us."
-- Anthony

THE STAT: The teams combined for 59 fouls and four players fouled out: Dwight Howard, Hedo Turkoglu and Earl Clark of the Magic and Shelden Williams of the Knicks.

TURNING POINT: With the Knicks up 108-106 and 1:16 remaining in the extra period, Dwight Howard committed a loose ball foul on Amar'e Stoudemire (20 points) and then committed his 17th technical. One more technical and he will serve another one-game suspension. Chauncey Billups hit the technical free throw and Anthony made 1 of 2 to extend the lead to 110-106. The Magic then turned the ball over on the ensuing inbounds play. The Knicks outscored the Magic, 13-6, in the extra period after Jason Richardson hit a 3-pointer with 5.7 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. Anthony missed a potential game winning flip-in and layup in the final seconds of regulation.

QUOTABLE II: "Carmelo was tremendous. I thought he was the difference down the stretch. He was great. I thought we defended the other guys pretty well but he was great."
-- Magic coach Stan Van Gundy

HOT: One game after scoring his previous Knick high of 36 in Saturday's loss to Charlotte, Anthony surpassed his Knicks high for the second consecutive game. He had 19 points in the third quarter -- including back-to-back 3-pointers at the period's close -- falling one shy of the Knicks individual season high for a quarter set by Billups (20) at Cleveland Feb. 25 (fourth quarter).

NOT: Gilbert Arenas started at point guard in place of Jameer Nelson (sprained left knee) and finished with nine points on 2-for-11 shooting.

QUOTABLE III: "You just draw a line in the sand. You're gonna kick somebody's [butt] tonight and you just do it."
-- Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni
