Knicks 113 Bobcats 89 Take a long look at this box score, because you probably won’t see another one like it this season. The Knicks won a laugher Wednesday 113-89, dominating Charlotte over the final three quarters of the game.
Apart from Eddy Curry, who didn’t score a single point, everyone had a good time in this one. Nate Robinson had 22 points and 6 assists while Jamal Crawford had 20 points and 5 assists. David Lee pulled down 14 rebounds and the Knicks shot 51% from the field while only allowing Charlotte to shoot 41%.
Sadly, the euphoria will most likely be over soon. A win in Atlanta on Friday is possible, but then a visit to Orlando followed by home games against New Orleans and Cleveland should bring reality crashing back around the Knicks. But, in a season where the Knicks only have 18 wins at the end of February, you take any chance you can get to celebrate.
