The Knicks beat the Houston Rockets last night by a score of 104 - 98 last night at Madison Square Garden.  It was a dramatic win that saw the lead changes hands back and forth throughout the game.   The Knicks started the game by developing a 6 point lead in the 1st quarter, but then gave it up in the second quarter by finishing the first half down by 5.

Houston held the lead until the 4th quarter when the Knicks outscored them by 12 points.  The Knicks strong play was fronted by David Lee once again, who had 17 pts and 13 rebounds.   The bench was also huge once again, with strong play from Nate Robinson and Wilson Chandler.  Chandler came off the bench today, after usually being in the starting lineup.  He was replaced in yesterdays game by Al Harrington who was injected back into the starting lineup.  This move was most likely only based on match up as the Knicks were playing Houston, who has 2 great defensive forwards in Artest and Battier, as well as Tracy McGrady at guard.  Expect to see Chandler back into the starting lineup next game.

This was a nice rebound game after a tough loss to the 76ers last game.  Let’s hope the Knicks can keep rolling.

That’s my 2 cents… I’d love to hear yours!
