I?ve said it before. This team never gives up. It always finds a way to be in the game in the closing minute. But, this team has no idea how to seal the deal and actually win.

Great job by RJ to tie the game after a missed FT, going coast to coast. Memphis ball. 8 seconds to go.

Knicks trailed by as many as 13 points in the 4th. Criticize this team and Thibs as much as you want, but you can?t say this team isn?t killing itself out there trying to win.

KNICKS WIN!!!

I can?t believe we won that game. What a battle.

Anyone who missed this game, try to catch a replay. This game tells you everything you need to know about the relentlessness of this coach and this team.

Randle with his 5th triple double of the year.

RJ starting to show that he can be a crunch time alpha player in this league.

Quickley snapped out of his slump and Thibs stuck with him down the stretch.

Obi better tonight than TH was last night when SAC lost... a game we lose if we draft TH?

Poor MEM free throws shooting opened the door for us, and we made big shots when it mattered late.

Randle to RJ for 3 followed by a defensive stop and an AB bucket... nail in coffin. A big win, at least to maintain the illusion that we beat average to bad teams.

Knicks trail by 2... 114-112... they miss a FT and RJ just takes it to the hoop and shrugs off Ja like he?s a pesky gnat. Barrett says take that to the dude chosen 1 selection higher.

We can?t close out the better teams, so it was nice to see Randle and RJ close it out vs Ja and Allen. Our bench kept us in it....

Great team win and it keeps hope alive we may at least make a stand in the Final 4 or 7-10.

Memphis came in with a four game winnining streak and during their last 10 they only lost 3, all of them to the Jazz. That's not a bad team. If they played in the east Memphis probably were a top four team.

I would say they are in the same tier we are in now, which is to say an average team. Like us, they are young. Point is, NYK continue to beat bad teams, hold their own vs teams as good or slightly better, and are competitive vs the upper echelons.
