The Knicks lost to the 13-67 Atlanta Hawks last night. You read that correctly. By the way, the Hawks had lost 17 of their last 18 games before this one.

Yet, Atlanta had scored 62 by the end of the first half, and 118 by the end of regulation. The Knicks set a franchise record for 3 pointers last night - a tell tale sign that the Knicks were settling for jumpers and not driving to the basket - as was the fact that Atlanta shot 15 more free throws than the Knicks in the game.

The Knicks really struggled to keep it even all night - but managed to build a 7 point lead in the 4th quarter. But then Herb Williams pulled Ariza for TimThom. Sure enough he made a stupid foul and Stephon made his just-in-time game-killing 4th quarter turn over and the Hawks got back into it.

Even still, the Knicks had the ball 3 times in the last minute of the game - and failed all 3 times to break the tie, so the Knicks would have to wait until overtime to lose.

Stephon Marbury on the Knicks' defense last night: We just weren't doing it. We weren't getting it done tonight. We were ready for everything they did.

Steph sucks - seriously! Tyronn Lue ABUSED, Steph in overtime with a cross-over fake, step-back 3 pointer to clinch the game. Tyronn Lue.
Good job Stephon, you get the MCP award for the 2004-2005 season.
