NY Knicks: On the road again for a four game road trip. First stop Charlotte to face the Bobcats, a team the Knicks have trouble defending. Desperate for win after loosing the last seven, the Knicks came out like a team looking to stop the bleeding. A’mare Stoudemire look the worrier of old, aggressive on both ends of the floor.

After a few sub par games, where A’mare looked sluggish, it was becoming obvious that something was wrong.  Is he loosing a step, his he distracted not in to game. Or is it team chemistry can A’mare and Melo can play together. Things looked a little better in Charlotte, but Melo got injured spraining his right thumb.

But the Knicks supporting cast was up to the task, as Tyson Chandler drop twenty points an seventeen  rebounds. Landry Fields had a season high eighteen points an five assist. The Knicks had it going in all phases of the game. The bench was also contribute easying the scoring load . 

So many things went right for the Knicks. They moved the ball well and shot 50 percent from the field, made more free throws than the Bobcats attempted, out-rebounded their opponent by 20, dished out 16 more assists as a team and effectively won the game before the fourth quarter even started.

Everything the Bobcats attempted to do, the Knicks did it better and more often. For at least one night, New York thrived off great performances from a trio of players. It just wasn’t the full trio they have been touting since the offseason. They fianlly stop the bleeding winning 111 to 78.
