Amare Breaks wrist, Knicks prevail

Beasley put up his best numbers as a Wolf.

Nov 12th, 2010. The Wolves back at home for one game before returning to the road, hosted the New York Knicks and their two superstars in Amare Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony. Early in the game the Wolves were inspired by Michael Beasley who had his best quarter in a Wolves jersey, dropping 12 points on Anthony and helping the Wolves to a 31 to 26 lead at the first break.

The second period did not start well for New York with Amare breaking his wrist in a seemingly innocuous incident. The Knicks had to shuffle their line up a little, and with Stoudemire out Carmelo was called upon to step up. The Knicks went on a run in the second and erased the deficit as the Wolves sixth man Martell Webster struggled to find his range, despite several open looks. Isaiah Rider tried to keep the Wolves within striking distance as they entered the half 7 points behind.

The Knicks broke strong at the start of the second half and looked like they were going to completely break the game open, if not for the heroics of Isaiah Rider who really came through hard in the third, dropping 14 points on the Knicks to get the Wolves within two points going into the final change.

With Anthony and Billups leading the charge for New York they once again forced their way out to a double figure lead. Rider, Beasley and eventually Webster worked hard at breaking down the lead, eventually taking the lead on a Rider dunk. Things didn't get better from there though for the Wolves, with Billups sinking a three to take the momentum back for the Knicks who held on gallantly to win the game 119 to 114. The Knicks improve to 7 � 3, the same record the Wolves now hold.
