Regular Season Round 29: Milwaukee B. - New York K. 88-102
Date: November 28, 2012
MILWAUKEE - Pablo Prigioni isn’t even the Jason Kidd of Argentina so to think the 35 year old rookie can suddenly morph into the 39 year old future Hall of Fame point guard is asking for a bit much. But Prigioni is also more than capable of providing competent point guard play while Kidd recovers from a back injury and on Wednesday the league’s oldest rookie proved that there is a place for him in the league. With Steve Novak knocking down three’s but passing up an opportunity to dunk and Prigioni enjoying his finest moment since signing as a free agent in July, the Knicks cruised to a 102-88 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. The Knicks improved to 10-4 with the win and return home on Friday to face the Wizards, who won for the first time on Wednesday after losing their first 12. Milwaukee, which trailed by 22 in the second half, fell to 7-6. Carmelo Anthony led the Knicks with 29 points and Tyson Chandler, who overpowered Samuel Dalembert and Larry Sanders, added 17. Raymond Felton finished with 12 points and seven assists. Dalembert and John Henson, Milwaukee’s starting center and power forward respectively, combined for zero points and three rebounds. But it was the play of both Prigioni and Novak that carried the Knicks in the second and third quarters. Prigioni scored 11 points on 4-for-5 shooting with seven assists in 28 minutes. He and Felton had nine field goals compared to 12 for Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis, who scored 18 and 17 respectively. Prigioni, who spent most of his professional career in Spain, is expected to see extended playing time while Kidd, who missed his second straight game, recovers from back spasms. The Knicks are listing Kidd as day-to-day. Novak scored 19 points and the Wisconsin native did it in front of friends and family. He scored 11 in the second half and broke the Knicks bench to its feet when he stole the ball at midcourt and broke free toward the basket. Novak’s teammates were hoping for a dunk but Novak instead simply converted a lay-up. The Knicks bench provided a spark in the second quarter as the Knicks outscored Milwaukee by 13 in the period. The reserves made 8 of 14 shots in the first half, including Prigioni’s 3-for-3. The Knicks were a plus-13 with the back-up point guard on the floor, who enjoyed his best 11-minute stretch since signing with the club. In previous games, Prigioni has lacked the confidence to shoot but Wednesday night he hit back-to-back 3-pointers. Later, he set up Novak for a pair of open 3-pointers and then feed Chandler for an alley-oop dunk. Anthony opened the third quarter with four quick points as the Knicks extended their lead to 18. Novak began the second half on the floor instead of Kurt Thomas which gave the Knicks better spacing. Novak can makes opponents pay for double teaming Anthony. Amar’e Stoudemire can do the same although when Stoudemire, Anthony and Chandler on the floor, the lane is often too clogged. It stands to reason that a forward who can stretch the defense better complements Anthony as well as Chandler. Those are decisions Woodson will have to make at some point. But at least he has options and at least now he knows he can count on his third string point guard. Courtesy of: www.nydailynews.com
