The Knicks epic win against the Charlotte Bobcats

It took a game winning shot Monday night by Stephon Marbury to beat the Utah Jazz and Wednesday night it was David Lee's turn to hit the game winner. With .1 seconds remaining in double overtime, Lee tipped in a miraculous shot after receiving an alley-oop from teammate Jamal Crawford.

Apparently, adversity ignites the Knicks because after Saturday nights fight against the Nuggets they have won two straight. Last nights win might have come against the rebuilding Bobcats, but for a team that struggles to compete every night any victory is helpful. Currently, New York is 11-17 and they stand twelfth in the woeful Eastern Conference. Fortunately for them they are 5 and 5 in their last ten games.

With Michael Jordan in attendance last night the Knicks really increased their level of play and showed glimpses of team chemistry. Again, don't get too excited because we are talking about the Knicks[the laughing stock of the NBA], and not the Phoenix Suns. This is the team who's head coach finds pleasure in instigating fights, but thankfully this time Isiah Thomas utilized his great basketball knowledge to draw up the game winning play.

The hero of the night David Lee commented that it was a ''Great day in Knicks basketball'' and for the sake of all the Knicks fans who have stayed with their team through dire times, I hope that there will be many more great days in the Knicks future.
