KNICKS BEAT BOBCATS IN A THRILLER

The Knicks faced quite a challenge when the Charlotte Bobcats traveled to Madison Square Garden. This was an entertaining game the whole way through, which ended with the Knicks winning by a score of 70-67. Despite struggling from the free throw line, they were able to seal the deal when they needed to.

Dirk Nowitzki had a monster game with 26 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists. "I just gave him the ball and let him do his thing," said Rafer Alston. Alston contributed with 10 points and C.J. Miles chipped in 11 in their winning effort.

Dirk Nowitzki would not be denied.

The Bobcats were lead by Randy Foye who finished with 25 points and 5 assists. He attacked the paint at every opportunity and hit a number of incredible jumpers. Their tandem of Dwight Howard and Ron Artest played well throughout the game and provided a lot of rebounds. However, the Knicks still managed to make it inside with relative ease, scoring 40 in the paint.

With a 3-1 record, the Knicks are hoping that this is the beginning of more good things to come. Coach Pappy Knuckles took questions from reporters at the conclusion of the game. "It feels really good to come away with a victory like that. Dirk just took over in the 4th quarter, he wasn't going to be denied.
