Knicks-Bulls
The moment Antonio Davis dashed up into the stands, everyone was thinking the same thing: another NBA brawl.
Yet this was different. Concerned his wife was in trouble, the New York Knicks forward reached her in the seats but remained calm, never took a swing at anybody and willingly walked away when security arrived.
Still the scene evoked memories of last season's brawl between fans and Pacers players in Detroit and overshadowed a thrilling finish to a wild game.
Ben Gordon hit a jumper at the buzzer and scored 32 points Wednesday night to give the Chicago Bullsa 106-104 overtime victory over the Knicks.
Davis later explained why he climbed into the seats during a timeout in overtime.
``I witnessed my wife being threatened by a man that I learned later to be intoxicated,'' Davis said in a statement issued after the game. ``I saw him touch her, and I know I should not have acted the way I did, but I would have felt terrible if I didn't react. There was no time to call security. It happened too quickly.''
Davis ascended about 10 rows of seats to reach his wife. There was no physical confrontation after he got there, but several people were pointing and shouting for a few moments before security arrived.
Davis, president of the NBA players' association, returned to the bench and took his seat before being ejected with 1:04 left.
United Center security remained in the stands for a few minutes more, where other fans appeared to be explaining what they had seen. Guards in suits and yellow jackets then escorted a group of people from the area.
Knicks coach Larry Brown said Davis went into the stands because he saw his wife ``falling back.''
Brown was coaching the Pistons during the November 2004 brawl in Detroit. A black eye for the NBA, the fight led to criminal charges and lengthy suspensions for Ron Artest, Jermaine O'Neal and Stephen Jackson.
But Brown was adamant that this situation should be viewed differently.
``Come on, that's his wife,'' Brown said. ``That's entirely different. I was worried about Kendra. That's why he went in the stands, he saw her falling back.
``That thing that happened in the stands had nothing to do with the two teams. That's a man concerned about his family.''
No arrests had been made as of late Wednesday night, police said.
Gordon hit his winning shot after New York's Jamal Crawford tied it at 104 with a 3-pointer with 4.6 seconds left. After a timeout, Gordon caught the inbounds pass near the top of the key and hit a jumper over Trevor Ariza.
New York's Maurice Taylor and Chicago's Chris Duhon also were ejected after a scuffle in overtime, a few minutes before Davis went into the stands.
``He took care of family first,'' Taylor said. ``He's got his wife and young kids up there.''
Asked about Davis' demeanor in the locker room after the game, Taylor said: ``He was upset, but he was clear headed. Everyone watches where their family is.''
A few minutes before Davis went into the stands, Taylor ran across the lane and knocked down Duhon, who got up and shoved Taylor. That resulted in a double technical, and the two were soon ejected.
``He set a screen on me,'' Taylor said. ``I got the foul. It's basketball. Whatever he wanted to do after that was to his judgment.''
Duhon called it a ``cheap shot.''
``I don't think he made any basketball move to get around me,'' he said.
Gordon hit 14 of 28 shots, none bigger than the last one. He missed a shot at the end of regulation, but converted in overtime after taking the inbounds pass from Kirk Hinrich.
Gordon, who grew up just north of New York City in Mount Vernon, also beat the Knicks with a buzzer-beater at Madison Square Garden last season on Martin Luther King Day.
Hinrich finished with 18 points, eight assists, eight rebounds and three steals, while Andres Nocioni and Darius Songaila scored 14 apiece.
Crawford led the Knicks with 19 points, while Quentin Richardson added 17. Stephon Marbury sat out with a sprained left shoulder, ending a streak of 280 consecutive games played.
Davis, who used to play for the Bulls, had 16 points and nine rebounds, but Eddy Curry struggled in his homecoming. He finished with 11 points and four rebounds in his first game against Chicago and missed the final seven-plus minutes of regulation after colliding with Gordon.
The Bulls were ahead 102-99 after Songaila hit two free throws with 51.1 seconds left in overtime. Crawford went 2-of-3 from the line after being fouled by Andres Nocioni to make it a one-point game. After Nocioni converted two foul shots with 8.3 seconds left, Crawford's 3 tied it at 104. |
Bucks-Knicks
Stephon Marbury did his best to lift the struggling Knicks, but New York couldn't stop Mo Williams and the Milwaukee Bucks.
Marbury had 23 points and 12 assists for the Knicks in a 113-108 loss to the Bucks on Friday night, one game after he didn't hit a shot from the field and was criticized by coach Larry Brown.
``Everybody's trying to do what they can to win,'' Marbury said. ``No one is out there playing to lose, everyone is trying to contribute as far as playing defense, playing smart, playing together.''
Williams scored 30 points and Michael Redd added 22 to lead Milwaukee.
``Mo played tonight the way he's played all year,'' Bucks coach Terry Stotts said. ``Scoring 30 points on 17 shots is pretty effective, efficient.''
Williams, staring at point guard while T.J. Ford misses two weeks with a sprained foot, led the Bucks' dynamic backcourt as Milwaukee improved to 14-1 when scoring more than 100 points.
``I average 15, so I feel I have to score a little bit,'' Williams said. ``With T.J. out, I just have to find my places.''
Bobby Simmons had 18 points and Jamaal Magloire added 15 for the Bucks.
The Knicks dropped to 7-21 - matching their worst start since 1986-87 - and fell into last place in the Atlantic Division, percentage points behind Toronto (8-22).
``I've spoken to you after 28 games, and there was one game I was disappointed and I said that,'' Brown told reporters after the loss. ``Everybody makes a big deal (about it), I coached him for the next two days just like I always coached him. He's done what I asked and tries to win the game.''
Maurice Taylor scored 18 points, Channing Frye added 15 and Eddy Curry had 12 for the Knicks. But Taylor picked up his fifth foul with 7:36 left, and the Knicks were in the penalty with 5:03 remaining after Curry also picked up his fifth.
Williams, who finished 11-of-17 from the field with six rebounds and five assists, was the catalyst when Milwaukee took the lead just before the start of the fourth on a 9-0 run.
``Mo has more of a scorer's mentality - more of a 3-point shooter,'' Redd said. ``T.J. is more of a penetrator, a creator. They both bring a little something different to the table.''
New York, which went on a 4-minute stretch without a field goal early in the fourth, cut the Bucks' lead to 97-96 after Nate Robinson, who finished with 19 points, hit a 3-pointer and added two free throws.
Simmons answered with a fadeaway jumper and added a breakaway dunk. Then Williams scored on another fast break layup after a turnover by Jamal Crawford to give Milwaukee a 103-96 lead with 2:09 left. The Knicks never had the ball with a chance to tie after that.
``I was awful down the stretch,'' Crawford said. ``I missed two free throws, a 3-pointer and threw the ball away. That was uncharacteristic of me.''
Before the game, Brown said the situation with Marbury wasn't an issue. He was critical of his point guard after the Knicks' loss Wednesday to the Orlando Magic for not being aggressive enough.
Marbury finished that game with five points and was 0-for-7 from the field, but Brown said general manager Isiah Thomas hasn't asked about the dynamic and emotional playmaker.
``If it was a big thing for him, I'm sure he would address that,'' Brown said.
Marbury, who shot 7-of-15 from the field and was 9-of-10 from the free throw line, began to play frantically just before the half, first finding David Lee for a dunk for his ninth assist.
On the next possession, he called for the ball, turned it over in traffic and raced back down to strip Jermaine Jackson at the other end.
After Dan Gadzuric tipped a ball to a wide open Redd under the basket to cut the Knicks' lead to 57-54 with 1 second left, Marbury barely missed a 41-foot shot at the halftime buzzer.

Magic 105, Knicks 90
Hedo Turkoglu gladly went back to the bench so Grant Hill could start his first
game of the season.
Then Turkoglu and Pat Garrity gladly took advantage of all the
room the New York Knicks were giving them to shoot.
Turkoglu scored 18 points, Garrity added a season-high 17, and
the duo combined for nine of Orlando's 11 3-pointers in a 105-90 victory over
the Knicks on Tuesday night.
``They had like miscommunication out there. They didn't help each
other,'' Turkoglu said. ``They left really good shooters, Pat and me, they left
us really, really open all the time. I think they have a bunch of young guys
there and they're still learning, so that's why they messed it up. You can't
leave guys who are making shots in a row like that, you have to do
something.''
Hill added a 3-pointer during the decisive second quarter in his
season debut. Dwight Howard led the Magic with 23 points and 13 rebounds.
Hill missed Orlando's first 19 games following surgery for a
sports hernia on Oct. 31. He started and scored seven points in 22 minutes, and
was on the floor late in the second quarter when the Magic took control for
good.
``It was fun to be out there,'' said Hill, who's been beset by
injuries in six seasons with Orlando. ``It was good to get the win. I thought
our team played pretty well.''
Eddy Curry scored 23 points for the Knicks, who trailed by six or
more points for the final 29 minutes and have lost four straight. Quentin
Richardson added a season-high 16 and Stephon Marbury scored 13, but New York
couldn't overcome another woeful second quarter.
The Knicks were within five points midway through the second, but
made only one field goal in the final 6 minutes. Orlando closed with a 13-3 run,
taking a 54-39 lead when Hill made a 3 from the corner just before the halftime
buzzer.
New York was 6-of-21 (29 percent) in the second quarter and has
been outscored by a combined 26 points in that period in its last two games.
``I don't even really have an answer for you,'' Marbury said.
``All I do know is that we can't allow that to happen. Right now, as far as for
the way we're playing, we're going backwards, we're not going forward.''
Though Knicks coach Larry Brown said Tuesday he was planning to
shrink his rotation, but had used 11 players by halftime. The Knicks also have
allowed opponents to make 23 3-pointers in the last two games.
``Shots are a lot easier when you have a lead,'' Brown said.
``There's not a lot of pressure in those situations and that's been a
problem.''
The Knicks pulled within eight points early in the final quarter,
but Steve Francis drove the baseline for a three-point play after a powerful
dunk over Richardson, and Garrity and Turkoglu each made three 3-pointers later
in the period as the Magic pushed the lead to as much as 21.
Turkoglu had started all 18 games he played in while Hill was
out.
``It's like in the old days, like last year,'' Turkoglu said of
coming off the bench. ``I knew my role was going to be coming off the bench one
day.''
Orlando was 11-of-18 from behind the arc, with Garrity making
five and Turkoglu four.
``It's just the way we use our guys,'' Magic coach Brian Hill
said. ``That's what they do best. We thought we had some favorable matchups with
our shooters on the floor. Fortunately tonight we got the shots, but more
importantly we knocked them down.''
Notes: New York's Penny Hardaway had an MRI exam Tuesday and has
right knee tendinitis. The Knicks were also without reserve center Jerome James,
who has a sore left Achilles'. ... Orlando has won two in a row following a
five-game skid. ... Francis was just 3-of-16 from the field.

Celtics 102, Knicks 99
Ricky Davis had seen this kind of thing before. Boston would build a big lead and then let the other team back into the game.
It almost never ended well for the Celtics.
On Sunday, Davis got a pleasant surprise.
Davis scored 27 points and made two free throws with 8.7 seconds left, then New York's Nate Robinson missed a long 3-pointer on the game's final play as the Celtics beat the Knicks 102-99.
``Usually when guys come back from a lead we kind of hang our heads,'' Davis said. ``We just kept executing, kept getting defensive stops. That's what I liked about it.''
The Celtics led by as many as 14 in the third quarter, but Channing Frye hit a 3-pointer in the final seconds of the period to cut Boston's advantage to 76-67. From there, the Knicks chipped away until they got within 99-98 with 21.4 seconds left.
Moments later, Boston reserve guard Dan Dickau scored his only points of the game by making two free throws. The Knicks got back within 100-99 on two free throws by Stephon Marbury's with 8.9 seconds left.
But Davis hit his two free throws and Robinson was unable to make a big buzzer-beater for the second straight week. Eight days ago, the rookie from Washington made a 3-pointer as time expired to give the Knicks a 105-102 overtime win against Philadelphia.
``Sometimes the ball goes in your favor, sometimes it don't,'' Robinson said.
It was a difficult way for New York to leave home in preparation for a three-game West Coast road trip that begins Tuesday in Seattle.
``It's tough,'' said Marbury, who led the Knicks with 35 points. ``This is a game you want to get away with but unfortunately we didn't come up with a victory.''
Paul Pierce led the Celtics with 28 points and nine rebounds in the latest in a string of strong performances. Over the last four games, Pierce is averaging 29.8 points and 11 rebounds.
Now the Celtics have some momentum heading into the last four games of a five-game road trip that began Sunday. They face Houston on Tuesday before visiting the New Orleans Hornets, San Antonio and Dallas.
``That was a great win for us, obviously,'' Boston coach Doc Rivers said. ``It was our first win going on a long road trip. We couldn't have asked for a better win.''
Marbury scored 24 points in the first half. He was 17-of-21 from the free-throw line overall in a game where the Knicks went 35-for-46.
Frye set a career high with 25 points, the rookie's third straight game with at least 21.
Delonte West added 17 points for the Celtics.
New York center Eddy Curry was a non-factor in his first appearance after missing five games with a strained left calf. He had three points and one rebound in 13:51 of playing time.
The Knicks got a scare with 5:24 left in the third quarter, when West drove for a dunk. Jamal Crawford was trailing the play and collided under the basket with Marbury, who was coming over to help. Both players went down, and Crawford was helped from the court. He received 11 stitches to close a cut on his chin and didn't return until 44.1 seconds were left in the fourth quarter. Marbury stayed in the game. West was called for a technical for hanging on the rim.
Marbury was sporting a bump on his forehead after the game.
``I was a little woozy (after the collision),'' Crawford said. ``But other than that, I was all right.''
New York struggled to maintain any offensive rhythm in the first half, but was able to get within 46-45 at the break by going 16-for-18 from the free-throw line, including an 8-for-9 performance by Marbury.
