Knicks win on a day when their opponents shot .577FG, .529 from 3pt range; .84 from the line.
How? 19 offensive rebounds (seems like Anthony missed on purpose just so he can pad his rebounds) and only 6 turnovers. That, and some timely shooting by JR Smith along with solid contributions from Copeland to keep the scoring going.
I do hope we get at least 1 other big man in playing shape.
The pace of todays game was incredible. Had to be one of the most entertaining 48 minute games in the NBA this year. Not a ton of defense, but man it was a free flowing game with some physicality and some great athletic plays. Knicks were sensational on the glass despite the size disadvantage. Melo- I don't think I have seen him look this healthy since very early on in the year. The spring he had on his 2nd and 3rd leaps- there was no one there who could outwork him once he got close to the basket.
Melo really showed a lot of drive and determination in this game (not to mention the earlier ones) especialy towards the end, he was relentless, putting up 5 offensive boards in a span of 2 minutes.
