Smith would not allow that to happen as he knocked down a game winning jump shot to give the Knicks a 99-97 win over the Suns.  It was the second time this season Smith won a game for the Knicks at the buzzer, giving him as many as the rest of the NBA combined.  The win moves the Knicks to 21-8 on the season, running their road record to 9-6 on the season. -Positives Smith knocked down the game winner and stepped up with Anthony being forced out of the game with a hyper-extended knee.  His shooting percentage wasn’t great, as he went 11 for 27 from the field, including for four from the three point line, but he knocked down the shots that mattered.  In addition to the game winner, he knocked down an improbable shot with P.J. Tucker draped on him the prior possession.  In addition to a team hi...
