(AP) — Amare Stoudemire will go into next season with $45 million left on his contract and no guarantee of a starting job. He also could remain a reserve who plays restricted minutes. Searching for ways to improve next season, the New York Knicks could use a reliable second scorer and dependable low-post option. They have no way of knowin...

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...

(AP) — Pablo Prigioni could return to the starting lineup. Jason Kidd will remain in the rotation. Whichever players are on the court for the New York Knicks when they try to save their season Thursday night, coach Mike Woodson just wants them to shoot with confidence.

Now the Warriors will have to win two in a row to keep the Spurs from returning to the Western Conference finals. Tony Parker had 25 points and 10 assists, and the Sp...

(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.

Jason Terry provided both.
