Jose Calderon returned to the lineup and played 35 minutes and was 5 of 9 from the floor and made his only free throw and ended the game with 11 points and 9 boards while the Raptors got a nit of a scare when Jerryd Bayless came down with a rebound at the end of the third quarter and Amar'e Stoudemire fouled him hard and he fell on his hip and was in and out of the lineup in the fourth quarter and will likely be a game time decision against the Bulls tomorrow night.
So the Knicks under Mike D'Antoni they shot 20 plus threes and take lots of jumpers but under Mike Woodson the Knicks won their fourth game under his reign and are going hard to the basket as they 48 of their 106 points from lay-ups and dunks in a 106-87 victory and took twice as many free throws (33) to three-balls (16) and U put their points from free throws (23) and that gives them 71 points and two-thirds of their points the easy way. They shot 48.1% from the floor but when they missed they came down with 16 of the 42 boards on their offensive end (38%) which helped them with second chance points mostly put back jams and they out rebounded the Raptors 46-30. It was the Amar'e Stoudemire with 22 points and 12 boards but the rest of the Knicks shared the points equally as Carmelo (8 broads) and Tyson Chandler had 17 points while Jeremy Lin had 18 points and 10 of the Knicks 23 assists on 39 made baskets.
The Raptors were lead by DeMar (17) and Andrea (15) and Ed Davis had 9 points and 9 boards while Arron Grey played very little in the game (7:30) as had very early foul trouble in the first quarter and in the third quarter he was trying to protect his turf with Tyson Chandler and was charged with his third foul as both players had each others arms tied up and he went off and kicked the ball and was T'd up and then was tossed from the game for saying something and was gone @ the 7:47 point of the third quarter.
So the Raptors come home for Military night tomorrow night against Derek Rose and the Chicago Bulls
