KNICKS ON FIRE !!!!

The cynic in us wants to say the Knicks peaked Tuesday night. Whether that's true or not, there was an atmosphere inside Madison Square Garden that felt more like May than November.
Of course, the Knicks haven't played a meaningful game in May for eight years running now, so that undoubtedly was a large part of the reason why the crowd was on its feet for much of the final two minutes of New York's 119-112 victory over Denver.
"It's our fans being anxious to see how we're going to do. We're all anxious, too. We worked hard this summer, and we want to see how good we can be under coach [Isiah] Thomas," said Jamal Crawford, whose 25 points topped four Knicks with at least 20. Eddy Curry contributed 24 points and eight rebounds, Zach Randolph had 22 points and 17 rebounds and Stephon Marbury added 21 points and nine assists.
The Knicks rallied from an early 15-point deficit, then fell behind by 10 again at the end of the third quarter before rallying in the fourth behind nine points from Marbury and nine points, five rebounds and a block from Curry, who found himself in the unfamiliar position of being praised for his tenacity on the defensive end.
