Knicks bounce back and make it rain on Pistons

[insidehoops]

With the Linsanity disaster behind them, the Knicks came back home and took it out on the Pistons today. They cruised to a 121-100 victory behind Carmelo Anthony’s 29 points in 31 minutes and they got back to playing ramped-up defense in a Garden matinee, breaking a two-game losing streak.

The Knicks moved to 9-3 and stayed unbeaten at home at 5-0. The win sets the stage for tomorrow’s historic, first-ever showdown vs. the Nets in their new locale in Brooklyn – a makeup game of the postponed season opener.

Today’s victory temporarily erased the stench of their 131-103 disgrace at the hands of Jeremy Lin’s Rockets in Houston. During their two-game losing streak that included a defeat in Dallas, the Knicks had allowed 245 points. All their losses have come on the road – the third one being in Memphis.

shows that we need homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs, and that top seed should be our goal even if its a long shot

I wasnt impressed by the win. We definitely needed a blowout but I dont like rhe way we began our quarters. We missed on a lot of defensive assignments. Also, Woodson had some questionable lineup choices. Kidd on Prince. Wtf was that about?
