Curry puts in allstar performance to see off Grizzles
The Knicks started off strong but soon ran into trouble when they couldnt hit a free throw (6-21) allowing Memphis to chip away at a 12 point knick lead going into the second quarter.
Mike Miller teamed up with Rudy Gay to lead the comeback with 10 points each at the half while Eddy Curry was having the game of his life which finished with a whooping 21 points and 21 rebounds to earn play of the game.
Stephon Marbury stepped up in the fourth stealing the ball twice in the closing minutes of the game while finding second year forward David Lee for easy baskets.
Jamal Crawford was upto his usual tricks in the 4th quarter vs the Pacers scoring 18 of his player of the game 32 points stopping a huge effort by Jermaine O'Neal and Troy Murphy.
Murphy battled hard with Eddy Curry in the paint for his 14 points but could no way stop the 285lbs knicks big man from pushing his way to 25 points of his own.
O'Neal's defence kept the game close untill the last 5 minutes with 20 points 17 rebounds and 3 blocks before Nate Robinson made a clutch basket while been fouled followed by to 3 point shots by JC.
Knicks coach Isiah Thomas is growing inpatient with the play of second year forward Channing Frye despite Frye's 7ppg 7rpg 2bpg.
"Channing seems lost out there" said Thomas at a recent press conference when a writer from the new york post asked the question "is Frye part of your future plans?"
Frye is shooting just 28% fg this season and rumor has it that he now could be trade bait with fellow knick Steve Francis who's days in the big apple seem numbered.
