This is a "show me" game for the Knicks that could be a decent preview of what their playoff success might look like.
Paul George scored seven of his 25 points during a decisive 13-0 fourth-quarter run, leading the Indiana Pacers past the New York 81-76 on a night the Knicks were without their top scorer, Carmelo Anthony.
Less than 24 hours after Anthony was given a one-game suspension for Monday's confrontation with Kevin Garnett, the Knicks were preparing to face Indiana without their leading scorer.
Anthony didn't believe he would be suspended because he said he was just looking to talk to Garnett, not fight. But the NBA ruled otherwise.
The Knicks' defense has been getting worse by the week, and Mike Woodson isn't helping things. If the switching continues, the Knicks will find themselves giving up 100 points or more in many games the rest of the season.
Anthony said he sought out Garnett after the Knicks' loss to Boston on Monday night so they could discuss it. He would not elaborate on what was said.
Garnett baited Anthony like no one else in the league can, and Melo responded by biting down on the hook like an untested rookie who forgot he was playing in the NBA and not on some playground in Baltimore.
Nothing has been going wrong for the Knicks and Anthony. Until last night when the Boston Celtics came to town.
Anthony didn't just lose Monday's heated game against Boston. He lost his cool, and the league could penalize the Knicks' leading scorer for his postgame antics.
Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Garnett jawed from baseline to midcourt, and Anthony still had more to say. So the Knicks forward went toward the Celtics locker room after the game to keep shouting.
Carmelo Anthony scored 40 points as the Knicks defeated the Magic in Orlando 114-106. The Knicks have won two straight overall and four in a row over the Magic, dating back to last season.
One characteristic we have seen this Knicks team show several times this season is their ability to rise to the occasion. They haven't done it every time, but many times when the Knicks see a top opponent in front of them they play their best basketball.
"Guess who just contributed to the crime rate in NYC," tweeted New York Daily News reporter Frank Isola.
