NBA
Regular Season Round 48: New York K. - Denver N. 129-125
Date: December 12, 2010
The roar at the beginning was for Carmelo Anthony. The booming chants at the end were for Amare Stoudemire. Maybe the New York Knicks already have the only superstar they need. "Sky's the limit," Stoudemire said. "It's just a matter of us continuing to improve." Stoudemire scored 24 of his 30 points in the second half, Wilson Chandler made the tiebreaking 3-pointer with 30 seconds left, and the Knicks beat the Denver Nuggets 129-125 on Sunday for their first eight-game winning streak in 16 years. Perhaps catching a break not to have been called for a second technical foul and ejected in the second quarter, Stoudemire set a franchise record with his eighth straight 30-point game. The more important streak for the Knicks is the winning one. Winning for the 13th time in 14 games, the Knicks have won eight straight for the first time since Dec. 27, 1994-Jan. 13, 1995. At 16-9, they are off to their best start after 25 games since they were 18-7 in 1996-97. Next up: showdowns with Boston on Wednesday and Miami on Friday as the Knicks try to show they can compete with the NBA's elite. The Knicks seemed to be going nowhere when a 120-118 loss in Denver on Nov. 16 dropped them to 3-8. But they have lost just once since thanks mostly to Stoudemire, awarded with "MVP! MVP!" chants against in the final minute. "When we played them in Denver the first time, they look like a totally different team right now," Anthony said. "They've got a lot of rhythm going out there, seemed like everybody's on the same page, everybody's doing their part out there and they're rolling right now." With most of the crowd at Madison Square Garden standing and chanting for the final minutes, Raymond Felton made four free throws in the final 15.6 seconds. Chandler scored 27 points, and Felton had 19 points and a season-high 17 assists. Rookie Landry Fields scored 18 points and Danilo Gallinari had 16 for the Knicks. Anthony had 31 points and 13 rebounds in his return to the lineup after missing two games with an inflamed right knee. Nene added 26 points but the Nuggets finished 1-3 on their road trip, with the only victory coming in George Karl's 1,000th coaching win Friday at Toronto. *Courtesy of www.sfgate.com
