Chandler Leads Knicks In Rout Of Pacers
Knicks third year man outplays Granger
Jordan Hill smashes down a putback dunk over two Pacers (top)
Chandler serves up a poster on Dunleavy
The last time these two teams played at the Garden, the Pacers were missing all star forward Danny Granger. Didn't matter though as Indy killed NY by about 30 points without him. This time Granger returned and right before the game, the Pacers traded for Tayshaun Prince but the results were different. NY turned in one of it's finest defensive efforts of the young season beating the Pacers 102-79. Wilson Chandler led NY with 31 points in addition to doing an outstanding defensive job on Granger. Chandler harrassed Granger into a 7 for 21 shooting day, including 1/9 from three. Also throw in three blocks for Chandler. Other brick laying Pacers included Dunleavy who shot 1/15. NY held Indiana to a season low 32% field goals. David Lee led the Knicks with 16 rebounds and rookie Jordan Hill had another fine game finishing with 16 points and 13 boards. The addition of Prince didn't help the Pacers much as he shot 3/13.

MFBMike's Boy Shines Against Knicks
Williams and Williams kill Knicks
Terrance Williams lines up a three
The Knicks who haven't won two in a row all year figured to have a good chance against the Nets with them missing the injured Devin Harris but Terrance Williams and Sean Williams rained on their parade. Behind T. Williams 22 points the Nets cruised to a 112-81 laugher. Point guard Rafer Alston continuously penetrated the Knick defense dishing out 13 assists. Even Kenyon Dooling got into the assist party finishing with 10. Everything the Knicks did right in their win over the Pacers seemed to be forgotten in this game as they played horribly. The Nets even cheesed NY by scoring 70 points in the paint. NY wasted another subperb game by the emerging Wilson Chandler who dropped a game high 28 points, including 4/7 from three point land. David Lee led all rebounders with 17.

D'Antoni To Shake Up Lineup
Duhon to be inserted into starting line up, Hughes minutes cut
New York - Looking to give his scuffling team a bit of a new look, Knicks head coach Mike D'Antoni announced that Chris Duhon would start in place of the inconsistent Nate Robinson. While Robinson was averaging 7.3 apg, he was struggling mightily with his shot, shooting just 30% from the field and 16% from downtown. Robinson was also something of a defensive liability as the bigger guards would just shoot over the 5'9" dimunitive guard.
"Nate has been struggling a bit so I wanted to give him a chance to bring his energy off the bench," said D'Antoni. I wasn't seeing the normal aggressiveness he usually brings to the game when he was starting at the point. This is in no way as saying I'm down on Nate, I just want to give him a chance to get back on track and I feel this is the best way. Chris is more comfortable at handling the point guard duties, and we'll let Nate do his thing as the guy who brings scoring off the bench."
D'Antoni also said Jared Jefferies would begin to see more minutes, probably meaning less time for Larry Hughes or Danilo Gallinari. "We've been getting torched defensively, particularly by the opposition's guards and forwards. Jared brings the defensive intensity we're lacking right now and he can guard multiple positions." While Robinson took the news in stride, he clearly feels he should be starting when he said, "Whatever coach wants and what's best for the team. But I think of myself as a starter in this league. Clearly I'm not playing well right now, but I have confidence that I'll get back on track and force the coach to make a tough decision down the road."
You could almost see this coming as NY has struggled to stop anyone all season. While Jeffries isn't a big scorer, the Knicks don't need that from him as they have plenty of players who can fill it up. Instead they need Jeffries to defensively clamp down on the other team's star and rebound. D'Antoni also hinted that the barely used Darko Milicic and Eddy Curry would also start to see more time.Comment
