Suns-Knicks Preview

Posted Jan 16 2011 1:55PM

The New York Knicks routed the Phoenix Suns earlier this month by thriving from 3-point range, as Amare Stoudemire made his return to the desert in the opener of a four-game road trip.

The Suns might see a slightly less confident Knicks team as they open a five-game trip at Madison Square Garden.

New York turned in its worst shooting performance of the season in a surprising loss upon returning home, an effort it will try to avoid replicating Monday against Phoenix.

The Knicks (22-17) hit 17 of 33 3-pointers as they beat the Suns 121-96 on Jan. 7, and Stoudemire was upstaged by his own teammate in his highly anticipated return to Phoenix. Raymond Felton matched Stoudemire with 23 points and also recorded 11 assists and 10 rebounds for his first career triple-double.

New York dropped two of three to close the trip, then looked rather jet-lagged in its return to MSG on Friday. Felton shot 2 of 15 and scored a season-low six points, and the Knicks' 31.5 percent shooting was easily their worst mark of the season in a 93-83 loss to Western Conference-worst Sacramento.

"It was just one of those nights," Felton said. "It happens, you have to put in behind you. ... We just have to try and rest, get used to the East Coast. We kind of (got) messed up on that West Coast swing. It is tough, but a game like this we have to win."

Stoudemire is shooting 34.2 percent since helping beat the Suns (17-21).

"We have to make sure that we are ready for Phoenix," he said. "I am pretty sure they are seeking revenge, so we have to be ready for those guys. We have to make sure we understand our upcoming schedule so we have to get our mind right and get ready for those big games. First up is Phoenix."

The Knicks might get a big boost as they look for a third straight home win over the Suns. Danilo Gallinari, who's missed the last six games with a sprained left knee, is likely to return.

Gallinari had 27 points and 10 rebounds while shooting 6 of 12 from 3-point range in Phoenix's last visit to MSG, a 126-99 New York win Dec. 1, 2009.

The Knicks have been awfully tough to beat when the forward is contributing from beyond the arc. They're 16-4 when Gallinari hits at least two 3-pointers.

The Suns have lost four straight away from home, but they'll hit the road with some momentum. Phoenix rallied from 11 down after three quarters to beat New Jersey 118-109 in overtime Wednesday, and shot 53.8 percent in a 115-111 win over Portland on Friday.

Despite a difficult first half of the season while adjusting to life without Stoudemire, the Suns are 2 1/2 games out of the final West playoff spot.

"I think we can build off this," said reserve forward Jared Dudley, who has averaged 15.5 points in his last 12 games. "You have to win the home games because now we go on this road trip, and hopefully we can win most of them if not all of them. It's definitely a beginning."

Steve Nash, who's averaged 22.0 points and 15.3 assists in Phoenix's three wins this month, has scored 12.4 points against the Knicks since the start of the 2007-08 season - his second-worst average against any team in that span.

Suns overcome Stoudemire's 41, beat Knicks 129-121

NEW YORK (AP) The Suns sure look different from the team that went down without a fight in Amare Stoudemire's return to Phoenix.

They're scoring again like the old Suns teams did - and that's what it took to win in Stoudemire's highest-scoring game since departing the desert.

Vince Carter scored 29 points, including the 20,000th of his career, and Phoenix ran past the New York Knicks 129-121 on Monday to match a season high with its third straight victory.

"I know that thing about defense wins championships, but I still haven't seen a team yet win a game 0-0," coach Alvin Gentry said. "You've got to be able to make shots and put it in the basket. That's the only way you're going to beat a team that's geared up to score."

Grant Hill added 25 points for Phoenix, which overcame a season-high 41 points from Stoudemire and handed the Knicks their third loss in a row. Steve Nash finished with 15 points and 11 assists in a good start to a five-game Eastern trip for the Suns.

The Suns also held Stoudemire scoreless for the first eight minutes of the final period after he had 33 points through three, giving them just enough defense in a matchup that not surprisingly was otherwise all about offense.

Former Knicks forward Channing Frye scored 18 points. It was the Suns' third consecutive high-scoring performance after a four-game stretch in which they were held below 100, the first time that had happened since December 2005.

One of those came 10 days ago during a 121-96 loss in Stoudemire's return to Phoenix. But the Suns got revenge against him and former coach Mike D'Antoni and have scored at least 115 points in every game during their winning streak.

"I don't like to think of things in terms of retribution and payback, but it didn't feel good to get smashed at home, so it was a rewarding win today," Nash said.

Carter, who became the eighth active player to reach 20,000 points, also added 12 rebounds. That Jan. 7 blowout loss was only his fifth game with the Suns after his acquisition from Orlando.

"They beat us pretty good last time and it was still my first couple of games there, so I just felt like I could have given this team more," Carter said. "Now that I feel more comfortable, I see where I can get my shots or just make plays for the team."

Wilson Chandler scored 23 points for the Knicks, and Raymond Felton had 13 assists but another poor shooting night, going 3 for 13 for seven points. The Knicks fell to 22-18 after a game that D'Antoni said "definitely should be a wake-up call."

"We know that four games over .500 is unacceptable," Stoudemire said. "We had a chance to really take advantage of our situation and we didn't. So now we have to fight to get back to where we rightfully belong."

Danilo Gallinari scored 17 points in his return to the lineup after missing six games with a sprained left knee, but the Knicks were without big man Ronny Turiaf because of a bruised right hip.

Stoudemire left Phoenix for New York in the summer when the Suns wouldn't fully guarantee him a maximum contract over concerns about the long-term condition of his knees. He scored at least 20 points for the 25th consecutive game and moved ahead of Bernard King for the third-longest streak in franchise history, four shy of Richie Guerin's record set in 1962.

He also picked up his 12th technical after he bumped Frye in the first half and is now four away from an automatic one-game suspension.

"I think he's fine. I've been around Amare a long time. He can control it and hopefully he will," D'Antoni said. "I think we'll attack some problems before we attack that. We've got some problems."

Hakim Warrick, essentially Stoudemire's replacement, scored six straight for Phoenix before Gallinari's 3-pointer tied it at 106 with 5:29 left.

Nash answered with a 3, Carter scored five straight for Phoenix, and Frye capped a 13-4 surge with another 3-pointer that gave the Suns a 119-110 lead with 2:39 remaining. The Suns stayed ahead with their excellent foul shooting, finishing 28 of 31.

Notes: Knicks president Donnie Walsh believes he could acquire at least one first-round pick if needed. The Knicks have long been considered to be running behind the Nets in the Carmelo Anthony chase, in part because they have no pick to include in a trade with Denver. "I could probably get more than one, but I'm not going to say how many," Walsh said before the game. "But I'm confident I can get a first-round pick." ... Gentry was impressed with New York Jets coach Rex Ryan last week and imitated Ryan's news conference in which he said the matchup with the Patriots came down to himself against New England coach Bill Belichick. "It's personal, it's me and Mike, OK," Gentry joked of the matchup with his former boss. "It just comes down to me and Mike, that's it. It doesn't have anything to do with the players, anything. It's me and Mike. I've got to be a better coach than Mike today, OK?" ... Speaking of football, wide receivers Larry Fitzgerald and Terrell Owens were sitting in the same row across from the Phoenix bench.

THE FACTS: Despite a season-high 41 points from Amar'e Stoudemire, the Phoenix Suns handed the Knicks their third straight loss, 129-121, at Madison Square Garden. Phoenix has won three in a row and four of five since the Knicks beat them by 25 points Jan. 7 in Phoenix.

QUOTABLE: "I know that thing about defense wins championships, but I still haven't seen a team win a game 0-0. So you gotta be able to make shots and put it in the basket."
-- Suns coach Alvin Gentry, whose team shot 52 percent from beyond the arc

THE STAT: Grant Hill (38), Steve Nash (36) and Vince Carter (32) are a combined 106 years old, yet scored 69 points and went 9-for-14 from beyond the arc. As a team, the Suns were 11 of 21 from deep.

TURNING POINT: With the game tied at 106, Phoenix took charge with a 10-2 run, getting 3-pointers from Nash and a wide-open Carter to seize a 116-108 lead. Raymond Felton literally watched Carter unload the 3-pointer over his head.

QUOTABLE II: "We know that four games over .500 is unacceptable. We had a chance to take advantage of our situation and we didn't...Now we've got a tough road trip ahead [to Texas and Oklahoma City]."
-- Amar'e Stoudemire

HOT: Carter tallied a season-high 29 points on 11 of 20 shooting, hitting 5 of 8 from beyond the arc. His 3-pointer from the right corner put the Suns up 114-108.

NOT: Anthony Randolph continues to remain out of the rotation for the Knicks and president Donnie Walsh recently met with Randolph's agent, Bill Duffy, to discuss a possible trade for a draft pick.

ROOKIE WATCH: Landry Fields had 11 points on 4 of 7 shooting and nine rebounds for the Knicks.

INSIDE THE ARENA: New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Mike D of the Beastie Boys, Ethan Hawke, Terrell Owens and Larry Fitzgerald were in the house.

NOTABLE: Stoudemire bumped Channing Frye in the first quarter and got his 12th technical foul of the season, tying him with Dwight Howard for most in the NBA. He is four away from an automatic one-game suspension and will receive a warning letter from the league with his $4,000 fine.

UP NEXT: For the Knicks, Wednesday @ Houston, Friday @ San Antonio, Saturday @ Oklahoma City. For the Suns, Wednesday @ Cleveland, Friday @ Washington, Saturday @Detroit.
