Rapid Reaction: Knicks 91, Heat 86

WHAT IT MEANS: How’s this for team chemistry?

With LeBron James barreling down the lane and the Heat down one with under 10 seconds to play, Carmelo Anthony slowed James' progress and Amare Stoudemireblocked his shot to seal the Knicks’ 91-86 win.

Fans and pundits had questioned whether Stoudemire and Anthony could come together on the offensive end since the Knicks landed Anthony in a trade on Tuesday, but it was the defensive stand on James by Stat and Melo that stood out most in a game that at times mimicked the ugly, grind-it-out nature of the Knicks-Heat battles of the late 1990s. 

The Knicks rebounded from an embarrassing 115-109 loss to the 11-win Cavaliers on Friday night by holding the best team in the Eastern Conference to 50 points in the final three quarters. New York shot just 38 percent from the field but held the Heat to 43 percent shooting and 27 percent from 3-point land.

MIAMI (AP) Carmelo Anthony scored 29 points, Amare Stoudemire added 16 points and a huge blocked shot against LeBron James with 7 seconds left, and the New York Knicks stunned the Miami Heat 91-86 on Sunday night.

Chauncey Billups had 16 points, including the go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:01 left for New York, which rallied from a 15-point, first-half deficit. Stoudemire finished with 10 rebounds for the Knicks, who improved to 2-1 since the megatrade with Denver that dramatically changed their roster.

James scored 27 for Miami, which had won seven straight at home. Chris Bosh added 20 points and 12 rebounds, and Dwyane Wade finished with only 12 points for the Heat.
