Knicks-Pacers Preview

The New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers are postseason-bound, though New York's first-round opponent remains in doubt.

So does the status of Amare Stoudemire.

The Knicks may not have Stoudemire for a second straight game when they visit the Pacers looking for their seventh consecutive victory Sunday night.

New York (41-38) has clinched its first playoff berth since 2003-04 and will face Boston or Miami, which are battling for the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. With a victory over Indiana, the Knicks can move a game ahead of seventh-place Philadelphia with two to play and would clinch the conference record tiebreaker over the 76ers.

New York earned a split of the season series with Philadelphia by winning 97-92 on Monday.

Stoudemire, however, suffered a sprained ankle in that game and missed a 116-93 win over New Jersey on Friday. With the Knicks having wrapped up a playoff spot, coach Mike D'Antoni may elect to rest Stoudemire, who was on the bench in a walking boot, against Indiana.

Carmelo Anthony scored 25 points and grabbed 14 rebounds versus the Nets, while Chauncey Billups added 22 points. Anthony made two of the Knicks' 15 3-pointers and has 46 in 25 games for New York after making 42 in 50 games with Denver.

" ... I think (the fans are) excited about me shooting the 3-ball right now," Anthony said. "They see it's going in, my teammates are excited about that, I'm excited that I'm making that shot right now. So it's fun."

While the Knicks' playoff situation is unsettled, the Pacers' is set. Indiana (37-43) is locked into the eighth seed and will face Chicago in the first round.

Indiana is surging toward the postseason, winning five of six. Darren Collison scored 16 points and added 10 assists in a 114-102 victory over Atlanta on Friday, a game after he had 15 points and 11 assists in a win over Washington.

The point guard has shot 71 percent from the field over the last six games.

"We're trying to head to the playoffs with a little more momentum," Collison said. "We're a young team. We just can't take games off and expect to turn it on."

Collison has played well against the Knicks this season, averaging 20.7 points - 7.5 above his season average - and 7.7 assists in the three meetings. He had 24 points and nine assists in the most recent matchup, a 119-117 victory March 15, and scored 22 in a 98-92 loss at New York on Jan. 2.

Danny Granger, who scored a game-high 28 points against the Hawks, hit the winning shot with 0.3 seconds remaining March 15. Granger sat out a 106-93 win at New York two days earlier due to the flu.

The forward turned in his highest-scoring performance in more than two weeks Friday and gave Collison some of the credit.

"Darren has done a good job of being a pass-first point guard," Granger said. "He has an ability to score, so sometimes he'll look to score first. When he becomes that pass-first point guard, he can rack up 10 assists every night."

The Pacers have won five in a row and seven of eight at home.

Anthony, Knicks top Pacers for 7th straight win

Posted Apr 10 2011 11:51PM

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Carmelo Anthony insisted it would take some time for the New York Knicks to show their true potential after the blockbuster trade that brought him and Chauncey Billups over from Denver.

His prediction seems to be right on.

Anthony scored 34 points, making the go-ahead jumper with 4.9 seconds left and blocking a potential winning attempt by Danny Granger, helping the Knicks beat the Indiana Pacers 110-109 on Sunday night for their seventh straight win.

New York went 7-12 after the trade with Denver in February, including six consecutive losses. The Knicks beat Orlando on March 28 to start their current winning streak.

"As a team, we've come a long way since I've gotten here," Anthony said. "I think everybody bought into what's going on, bought into the Mike D'Antoni system. I told you it was going to take some time. It's starting to click, offensively and defensively."

Billups had 21 points and seven assists, and Toney Douglas scored 14 for the Knicks (42-38), who moved a game ahead of idle Philadelphia for the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference playoff chase.

"It was bigger than that," Anthony said. "It was a big game for us confidence-wise. Coming down the stretch, finishing out the regular season with some good momentum, trying to make a big push. Tonight was another game we had to finish out."

New York, which trailed by 11 early in the fourth quarter, used a 10-0 run to cut the deficit to 98-97. Granger's 3-pointer and Josh McRoberts' runner stopped the spurt and helped Indiana regain the momentum.

The Pacers extended their advantage to 109-103 with 3:31 left, but the Knicks scored the next five points, including Landry Fields' dunk with 39 seconds left, to get within 109-108.

After Darren Collison missed a jumper on the Pacers' ensuing possession, the Knicks got the ball back with 13 seconds remaining. Anthony got the ball, made a couple moves and fired a 19-footer over Granger's outstretched hand.

"I just love those moments," Anthony said. "I make the shot, I'm a hero. I don't, move on to the next game.

"I knew it was in," he added. "Some of them, I'm kind of skeptical about. As soon as I released it, you just get that feeling. I came to the bench and told Jared (Jeffries), 'If we get a stop, we're going to go home happy."'

D'Antoni left it up to Anthony on the Knicks' final offensive possession.

"You let Melo go to work," D'Antoni said, "and it all works out."

Granger tried to give Indiana the win with time running out, but Anthony got a piece of his jumper. Collison caught the ball in the air and missed a shot of his own. Mike Dunleavy missed a tip at the buzzer, although it may have been too late, anyway.

"We had the game, let it get away," Granger said. "I have no comments on the final play of the game."

Granger finished with 20 points and Roy Hibbert added 19 points and 10 rebounds for Indiana (37-44). The Pacers are locked into the No. 8 playoff seed.

"A tough loss down the stretch," Pacers interim coach Frank Vogel said. "They made the plays and we didn't."

The Pacers, who trailed by six at halftime, outscored New York 35-20 in the third quarter to open a nine-point lead. Hibbert's jumper gave Indiana a 93-87 advantage and A.J. Price's 3-pointer at the buzzer made it 96-87. Notes: Knicks president Donnie Walsh made his first road trip of the season beyond Newark for Sunday's game. He had hip replacement surgery in November, limiting his travel to two games at New Jersey. Walsh, the former Pacers president whose contract is not guaranteed for next season with the Knicks, denied speculation that he could return to the Pacers. "I'm angry about that," Walsh said Sunday. "There's absolutely no truth to it. I never talked to (Pacers owner) Herb Simon or anybody else about it." Walsh still has a home in the Indianapolis area. Pacers forward Tyler Hansbrough is averaging 24.3 points in three games against New York this season. He set career highs 29 and 30 points in a three-day span against the Knicks in March. Hansbrough did not play in the teams' first game in January because of a coach's decision.

Knicks-Pacers notebook

THE FACTS: Carmelo Anthony made a 19-footer with 4.9 seconds left, and then blocked Danny Granger's 19-footer, to lift New York to its seventh straight win, 110-109, over Indiana in the Pacers' final home game of the regular season Sunday night in Conseco Fieldhouse. The Knicks (42-38) scored the final seven points of the game to erase a 109-103 deficit as the Pacers missed their final six shots. Anthony finished with a game-high 34 for the Knicks, who took a one-game lead over Philadelphia in the race for sixth in the Eastern Conference. Granger led Indiana (37-44) with 20.

QUOTABLE: "(The game-winning play) was designed for Chauncey (Billups) to come off and me to come and get the ball. But they denied it. I told Chauncey to throw it over the top. The shot was cool but they still had time to come back down and get a shot. I just buckled down and made a great defensive stop out there."
-- Anthony.

THE STAT: Anthony is now 19-of-39 (.487) in his career on shots that either tie or give his team in the lead in the final 10 seconds of a game.

TURNING POINT: The Pacers put together a 16-5 run spanning the third and fourth periods to a 98-87 lead with 11:39 remaining. Thereafter, Indiana missed 16 of 20 shots and committed six turnovers as the Knicks took control down the stretch.

QUOTABLE II: "(Anthony)'s one of the best in the world. He made a terrific shot. It was well defended. What we take from this game is in the fourth quarter we have to counter what they throw at us. I thought we competed tonight. We just didn't close it out."
-- Indiana interim coach Frank Vogel.

HOT: Mike Dunleavy scored 14 points in 19 minutes off the Indiana bench, hitting 6-of-11 shots.

NOT: The Knicks' two top scorers, Anthony and Billups, combined to shoot 15-of-42 (.357) from the field.

NOTABLE: Amar'e Stoudemire missed his third game of the season and second in a row with a sprained left ankle. New York is 3-0 in his absence... Asked if Stoudemire would play in either of the final two regular-season games, coach Mike D'Antoni said "I kind of hope it happens but we won't know till he says he can go." ... Pacers veteran point guard T.J. Ford played for the first time since Jan. 28, going scoreless in four minutes. Ford has replaced Lance Stephenson as the third guard in the rotation, the result of a disciplinary action for an undisclosed violation of team rules by the rookie...Indiana outscored the Knicks, 48-18, in the paint tonight....New York's 38 attempts from the 3-point line are the most ever against the Pacers in their NBA history...Anthony has averaged 30.9 points in the Knicks' seven-game win streak, hitting 23-of-48 (.479) from the 3-point line.
