Anthony’s 29, Amare’s block lead Knicks, 91-86
By TIM REYNOLDS, AP Sports Writer
MIAMI – With the game on the line, LeBron James got past Carmelo Anthony.
Not Amare Stoudemire, however.
And just like that, the New York Knicks — with defense, no less — knocked off the Miami Heat.
Chauncey Billups made the go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:01 left, Stoudemire blocked James’ layup try with 7 seconds remaining to protect a one-point lead, and the Knicks finished with a 13-2 run to beat the Heat 91-86 on Sunday night.
“The bigger the game, the bigger the stage, the bigger they play,” Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni said.
Anthony scored 29 points and Stoudemire added 16 points and 10 rebounds. Billups had 16 points for the Knicks, who rallied from a 15-point, first-half deficit and improved to 2-1 since the megatrade with Denver that dramatically changed their roster.
“These games like this are fun,” Anthony said. “It brings the best out of everybody.”
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 — who had 20 turnovers, matching the fourth-most forced by New York this season.
“We will have our breakthrough,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “And as painful as this is right now, there will be a time that we break through and we’re able to execute and win a game like this against a quality opponent going down the stretch. What you hope is that the pain of a game like this resonates enough to make a change.”
With New York up by one, Bill Walker turned the ball over with 12.7 seconds left when he was unable to handle an inbounds pass, and Miami had its chance.
James drove on Anthony down the left side of the lane, but Stoudemire swatted the two-time reigning MVP’s try away.
“I watched it the whole way,” Stoudemire said. “I knew what he was going to do.”
Said James: “I felt like I got enough room around ‘Melo … and he just got a piece of it.”
James had another chance, but his potentially tiebreaking 3-pointer missed with 2 seconds left, and the Knicks leaped in celebration.
Miami is now tied with Chicago in the loss column, each with 17 in the tight race in the East. The Heat do have three more wins, but fell a half-game behind Boston for the top spot in the conference.
And it was there for the Heat’s taking, after holding an 84-78 lead with 3:05 left.
New York, as it had all night, came back quickly.
A 9-2 run over the next 3 minutes, capped by Billups’ 3-pointer over Wade’s outstretched arm with 1:01 left, gave the Knicks an 85-84 edge — and few people in the sellout crowd remained seated at that point.
“Mr. Big Shot” lived up to his name, again. James said before the game that he found it comical that some may have considered Billups to be an ancillary part of the Knicks-Nuggets deal.
Down the stretch, Billups took over.
“It’s a shot that I like to shoot,” Billups said. “It’s kind of a far shot, but it’s in my range and I knocked it down.”
Billups added a steal on the next Miami possession and set up Shawne Williams for two free throws and an 87-84 lead. James answered with two free throws, getting the Heat within one again, but Stoudemire’s block kept them at bay.
“I don’t think we played badly,” Bosh said. “I think we controlled the whole game. … We had control of the game. We just didn’t execute down the stretch.”
Mike Miller scored 10 for Miami. Walker had 10 for the Knicks, who won despite shooting 39 percent.
“There’s a reason we keep losing these close games,” Wade said. “So we’ve got to figure it out.”
It was the fourth and final regular-season meeting for the Knicks and Heat, and Wade could only point to one reason why Sunday night seemed so different.
“Melo,” he said before the game.
True, but the scene was anything but mellow.
Predictably, it was a double-feature of sorts — part showdown, part show.
Knicks superfan Spike Lee was having a conversation with Landry Fields during pregame warmups. Actor Michael Clarke Duncan and soccer star Thierry Henry had prime seats, tennis star Venus Williams appeared and Miami’s notoriously late-settling crowd was in place in plenty of time to lustily boo New York’s starters as they were introduced.
“The atmosphere was crazy,” Knicks guard Anthony Carter said.
Oh, there was a game, too.
Shawne Williams blocked Erick Dampier down low 2 minutes into the game. No problem — James simply knocked the ball away from Stoudemire, then threw a no-look, backward-over-his-head pass to Dampier for a dunk. A minute later, James dribbled behind his back to get clear of Billups, slapped the ball to Wade, then received an alley-oop pass back and slammed it with his left hand.
How good was that one? Someone posted the clip to YouTube within 8 minutes.
Miami’s lead was all the way to 51-36 when Bosh scored with 4:25 remaining in the half. Everything changed in a hurry.
New York scored the final 16 points of the half, starting when Billups made a 3-pointer, the first of four by the Knicks before intermission, including another by Billups and a falling-down, beat-the-clock version by Walker at the buzzer to give New York a 52-51 lead at the break.
Another drought to close the third quarter proved costly to Miami.
Up 66-60 when Miller made a 3-pointer with 3:30 left, the Heat went cold for the rest of the period. Anthony elevated over James Jones for a layup with 1:13 left, added a 3-pointer 34 seconds later, and the Knicks were within 66-65 going into the fourth. One quarter later, New York’s loss in Cleveland two nights earlier was forgotten.
“We redeemed ourselves,” Anthony said. “We’re not where we want to be yet. We’ve got a long ways to go.”
NOTES: Miller had missed the previous four games after taking several hits to the head, then battling a cold and ear infection. … Carter appeared in only 14 games with the Nuggets this season, never playing more than 16 minutes. He logged 19 on Sunday in his first outing with the Knicks, a day after D’Antoni told him he was still trying to figure out how to get him into the rotation.

The Educators
The NBA’s New Jewish Star
Source: http://amare-stoudemire-news.newslib.com
It all started on twitter. Amare Stoudemire, the New York Knicks new power forward, and one of the NBA’s biggest stars, began tweeting words in Hebrew on his personal twitter account.
A couple tweets later, one of Amare’s twitter followers asked him:
“Whats up w the hebrew? Are you jewish?”
Amare’s reply was simple: “Yes Indeed!!”
On July 27th, the Knicks’ $100 million star flew to Israel to begin pulling up the Jewish roots from his mother’s side of the family.
On the 28th, Stoudemire touched down at Ben-Gurion Airport in Tel-Aviv.
The first stop on Amare’s trip was Jerusalem; his first tweet from the holy city read:
“Jerusalem is a beautiful city, I’m at a cafe eating a late lunch. I’m learning Hebrew by the min. Keep up!! Shalom.”
A couple days later, and after getting a better feel for Jerusalem, Stoudemire tweeted:
“I’m having so much fun here in Jerusalem. I’m with family an friends. Love to everyone. 😉 shalom”
Following visits to more scenic places such as the Dead-Sea (the lowest place on earth), and Tiberias, Stoudemire finally made his way to Tel-Aviv.
“I’m here in Tel Aviv. This city reminds me of Miami. The restaurants are great an so are the people. Thanks fans for following me. Laila tov”—(Hebrew for goodnight).
Amare said he expected to have a great time, but what he did not expect was the great number of basketball fans that live in Israel.
“Wow!! The fans here are amazing. Everyone cheers “NEW YORK KNICKS!!” “NEW YORK KNICKS!!”
The State of Israel is officially a part of Asia, however when talking about sports, you consider Israel a part of Europe. Despite the numerous amount of professional basketball teams in Israel, the country unanimously roots for one team: Maccabi Tel-Aviv.
Maccabi is one of the most prestigious basketball clubs in all of Europe. It has won five Euroleague cups (ranks third behind CSKA Moscow, and Real Madrid), and has had some great talent, such as Omri Casspi, Anthony Parker, Carlos Arroyo, Will Bynum, Sarunas Jasikevicius, and Beno Udrih put on uniforms.
Being a very close second to soccer, basketball is one of Israel’s favorite sports and it was no surprise to see the Israeli’s welcome Amare with such love and hospitality.
Towards the end of his trip, Amare was interviewed by Israel’s most popular sports channel “SPORT-5”.
The first question the interviewer asked was: “You wanted to learn more about your roots, and more about yourself, what have you learned so far?”
“I’m a history guy” Stoudemire said, “I’m trying to find my original culture, and I’m very spiritual. This trip has helped me find my original culture.”
The interviewer then said “I see you wearing a Yarmulke, does that mean you’ll be celebrating Shabbat and other holidays from now on?”
“Absolutely, absolutely.”, Amare replied. “It’s now a part of my culture, it’s going to be a part of my lifestyle, and now it’s going to be a part of my family’s lifestyle.”
“Really?” The surprised interviewer said, “You know on Passover we don’t eat bread?”
“Absolutely, definitely no bread”, Stoudemire replied.
A shocked interviewer then stated “On Yom Kippur, you’re not going to eat?”
“Absolutely. There may be times that I have to eat, because of a basketball game, but other than that, I’m totally into it, and I feel that my spirituality is connected to it.”, Amare said.
There are now three Jewish players in the NBA. First, is two-time world champion and newly signed New Jersey Nets point guard, Jordan Farmar. Second, is Sacramento Kings’ sharpshooter, Omri Casspi, and last but not least, is New York Knicks All-Star, Amare Stoudemire.
It seemed only appropriate that the last question the interviewer would ask, would be regarding the person who made bigger splashes than Free Willy this summer: LeBron James.
“Being a peer, and maybe a friend of LeBron James, can you understand what he did?”, the interviewer asked.
Amare thought about his answer for a second, and then simply said “I understand from the simple fact of wanting to win a championship, but there were ways where he could have made it a little more kosher.”
That’s all for now
