15 STAT OF THE GAME
Starting in place of an injured Chris Duhon, Nate Robinson was spectacular, finishing one rebound shy of a triple-double with 33 points, 15 assists and nine boards. Robinson also tied a career-high with five steals while committing just one turnover.
TURNING POINT
With 7.5 seconds remaining in overtime, Baron Davis sank a three-pointer over the outstretched arm of Jared Jeffries to turn a two point lead into a five point advantage, which was too much for the Knicks to overcome.
PLAY OF THE GAME
Midway through the second quarter, Wilson Chandler showed why he will be playing in the Rookie-Sophomore Challenge tomorrow night when he finished an coast-to-coast dunk with a thunderous dunk.
QUOTE OF THE GAME
 "Weird road trip. We should have had two out of the three, so we'll take a break and we'll be back. We'll have a stretch run and well see if we can do it."
Head Coach Mike D'Antoni
