Down 83-69 to start the fourth quarter, the Knicks out on fire. Ronny Turiaf hit a long jumper, followed by a ferocious Amar'e Stoudemire dunk off a pass from Raymond Felton. After another defensive stop, Bill Walker converted a driving layup to cut the score to 83-75 with 10:23 remaining.

With Stoudemire and Felton on the bench, the Knicks were unable to finish the comeback, and eventually went on to suffer their second consecutive road loss.Quote Of The Game
