Stoudemire was the Knicks leading scorer with 21 points in the loss. The Bobcats lost SF Gerald Wallace due to a high ankle sprain in the 3rd, he will be out 2-4 weeks. Charlotte signed SF James Jones after the game. Its rumored that Reggie Williams will step into the starting SF role while Wallace is out, because they would rather Brooks come off the bench.
