The New York Knicks won their second straight game tonight against the Orlando Magic. This game was close in the first half, but the Knicks were able to pull away in the second half.
A bit of history occurred tonight as Carmelo Anthony scored 20 points for the 30th time in a row. Anthony passed Richie Guerin, who had 29 straight games of 20 points. Anthony scored 20 points on the night and also had 5 assists. He did an excellent job in getting the ball to open teammates and they did an excellent job in making shots. Anthony also had 7 rebounds in 39 minutes of action.
Off the bench, Amare Stoudemire scored 14 points on 7 of 7 shooting. Stoudemire was an excellent force for the Knicks tonight as he used excellent post moves to score. He also had a couple of dunks as he really bought the energy tonight. This was a nice outing by Stoudemire, who continues to improve this season.
Tyson Chandler was huge offensively tonight. Chandler scored a team high 21 points with 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Chandler really was a factor early in this game and really was a nice contributor for the team.
Overall the Knicks really played as a team tonight. Six players scored in double figures and that really showed that the ball was moving. This was an excellent win as the team continues to win.
The Knicks will play the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night looking to keep winning. This win gives the Knicks 28 wins on the season.
