Knicks weave Magic but lose Anthony
Print Edition
The New York Knicks lost Carmelo Anthony to a sprained ankle, but turned back a furious Orlando rally to post a 103-98 victory over the Magic on Monday.
Knicks forward Anthony had 19 points when he departed the contest midway through the third quarter after appearing to twist his left ankle on Orlando center Nikola Vucevic’s foot while trying to grab an offensive rebound.
His exit signalled the start of a Magic surge as the hosts erased a 24-point halftime deficit and narrowed the gap to 83-84 with 8:28 left to play.
Knicks head coach Mike Woodson said he wasn’t yet sure how severe Anthony’s injury was. “We’ll evaluate him tomorrow,” Woodson said.
The Knicks had welcomed Raymond Felton back to action after a six-game absence with a sore left hamstring. But he exited in the fourth quarter with a right groin strain, finishing with 13 points in 25-plus minutes.
JR Smith had 18 points and 10 rebounds, while Tyson Chandler scored 10 points to go with 13 rebounds for the Knicks, who beat the Magic for the eighth straight time.
Arron Afflalo led the Magic with 26 points and Glen Davis chipped in 20 for an Orlando team that has lost 11 of its last 13 contests.
Elsewhere in the National Basketball Association, it was: Pistons 115, Cavaliers 92; Bobcats 111, Bucks 110 (in overtime); Heat 121, Hawks 119 (OT); Pacers 103, Nets 86; Mavericks 111, Rockets104; Grizzlies 104, Jazz 94; Spurs 112, Raptors 99; Suns 117, Lakers 90; Warriors 89, Nuggets 81; and Pelicans 113, Kings 100.
