The New York Knicks having nothing to lose faced off against the Orlando Magic and wiped off the laughter and smiles at the beginning of the game by the Magic ballclub.  NY came out fighting and took it to the number three seed by playing great defense and stopping the onslaught of 3’s Orlando usually makes.  The final score was 105-95.  Although nothing huge was expected out of the Knicks this year, they are starting to gel, but they need a few more pieces next year to improve.

The leading scorers for the Knicks were Al Harrington with 27 points, Wilson Chandler with 22 points and David Lee with 20 points.  The Slam Dunk Champion, Nate Robinson was the high man off the bench with 10 points on 4 for 6 field goal shooting.  The team as a whole shot 44% and only committed 9 turnovers on the night.  New York’s season long record now improves to 31 wins and 49 losses.
