Knicks 99 Suns 97
Boxscore
The shorthanded Knicks came into tonight’s game with a new line up and a determination to move the ball. The Knicks and Suns battled in the Valley of the Sun tonight. It was the Knicks who prevailed tonight on the backs of Jason Kidd and of course JR Smith. Knicks win 99-97.
1st Half
The 1st quarter started with an obvious energy that I have not seen from the Knicks in a week or so. I guess since their two top scorers were in street clothes, the Knicks thought they needed to play with offensive motion and energy. Unfortunately early in the period their defense was porous, but then was adjusted in the 2nd period. Tyson Chandler showed off his jumper for the 2nd time this year, but this time it looked like something he could add to his repertoire if he wanted to. Chris Copeland got some burn and did not disappoint at his chance with 10 points on 4-5 from the field. Jason Kidd stepped into the starting point guard role and ran the team the way it was supp...

Knicks guard J.R. Smith helped New York top the Phoenix Suns 99-97 by hitting an improbable buzzer-beating shot to win the game on Wednesday. The winning shot was Smith’s second of the month, and what made it even more special — aside from the difficulty of it — was that Smith also hit a jumper on the previous possession that tied the game:
Smith had 27 points, six rebounds...

J.R. Smith began the 2012-2013 season on a tear by shooting lights out from the field and from 3-point range during the month of November. J.R. was also stepping up in the rebounding category where he was averaging about 5 boards per game, a career high. He was playing smart, doing all the right things on both sides of the ball, and limiting his random acts of craziness that...

Check out the extremely off-balanced fadeaway jumper that Smith nailed with no time remaining to give the Knicks the 99-97 victory and a 21-8 record...

Say what you want about the Knicks having to win it on a last second shot attempt over a lesser squad, the Phoenix Suns. In the NBA, almost, any team can beat any team on a given night, despite our title contenders list being short every year. This is what makes a good team become great, winning these road games that should have resulted in a loss. What out America, the Knicks...

J.R. Smith will be called upon to extend the reach of his game with Raymond Felton out 4-6 weeks. But that shouldn't be a problem for the 27-year old. He is versatile and he wants to win. And the New York Knicks are winning because of his help. However, Smith is vastly underpaid this year. This means he will likely opt out of his contract after the season, but he wants...
