The Knicks continue to show a lot of heart, this time by beating the Detroit Pistons in triple OT, 151-145. This time it was Channing Frye who hit the big shot (to force a third OT) and Marbury who did the rest, scoring 41.
Eddy Curry scored 33 points shooting identical 11-15 from the floor and the line.
Jamal Crawford took over in the third OT and ended with 29 points and 11 assists.
The Knicks are the first NBA team to play 3 3OT games in one calendar year (Memphis in the first game of this season and Phoenix in the first game of 2006 -- but last season). And they won all 3.
They are now 4-1 since the brawl with the only loss coming to the abysmal 76ers. Three of those wins came in OT (Jazz in 1 OT, Bobcats in 2 OT and now the Pistons in 3 OT).
I'm not ready to proclaim this team as good or even decent yet, but they're only one game out of first.
