The defenses in this series are too good, so the difference is something else. "It's just a matter of who wants it more," Anthony said. On Thursday night, that was the Knicks. Anthony scored 28 points and New York avoided elimination in the Eastern Confe...

There was nothing to celebrate. The Celtics' season was over, ending in an 88-80 loss to New York that clinched the first-...

Two failed attempts to close out the Boston Celtics. Nineteen consecutive missed 3-pointers. Carmelo Anthony brought all the slumps to a stop.

(AP) — Call it bad fashion sense or poor playoff etiquette. New York Knicks coach Mike Woodson sure didn't like his players' decision to wear black to Game 5 of their playoff series against Boston on Wednesday night, which they expected to be the Celtics' "funeral." Only the Celtics are still alive after winning 92-86,...

The 3-0 deficit in the series might be next. The Boston Celtics are two victories from NBA history, and from extending the Knicks' postseason futility in a most improbable manner.

Not the way they defended after halftime. "We buckled down on the defensive end," Carmelo Anthony said, "and that's what opened the game up for us." And they've done it two games in a row.
