New York Knicks weekly breakdown: 12/16 – 12/22
What happened:
The Knicks saw their undefeated run at home come to an end, losing games to the Rockets and Bulls at Madison Square Garden. New York did however win the third Battle of New York by taking down Brooklyn on Wednesday night.
Despite losing two of three games, the Knicks still hold a five and a half-game lead in the Atlantic Division, along with a share of the top spot in the Eastern Conference with the Miami Heat.
Return of Linsanity:
As if it were early February of last season, Jeremy Lin put on a captivating show in front of the Madison Square Garden crowd during a Knicks game on Monday night.
This time, though, Lin was in an opposing uniform and the Knick-faithful crowd helplessly watched Jeremy drop 22 points while dishing out eight assists in a 109-96 Houston victory.
Carmelo Anthony missed the game due to a left ankle injury.
Kings of New York:
With a 14-point romp of the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night, the Knicks...

NEW YORK (AP) -- Blame the Christmas carols.
