Re: NBA: UTAH at NEW YORK

This is the numbers they should be putting up.. Marbury Crawford and randolph all in the 20's, and sometimes curry. IF they can be consistent this way then perhaps we can see some change. Eddy curry needs to grab more boards tho cause they were out rebounded by the jazz.</p>

NEW YORK (Ticker) -- Two weeks ago, Isiah Thomas benched StephonMarbury. But on Monday night, he may have finally received theperformance he envisioned from his point guard.


In possibly his finest game of the season, Marbury scored aseason-best 28 points as the Knicks held off the Utah Jazz,113-109, at Madison Square Garden.


Zach Randolph collected 25 points and 14 rebounds for his eighthdouble-double of the season for the Knicks, who put togetherconsecutive wins for the for the first time in 20 days.

Jamal Crawford scored 22 points for New York, which also avoidedbecoming the NBA's fifth 10-loss team.


The win also came on the two-week anniversary of Thomas tellingMarbury he was sending him to the bench in favor of second-yearguard Mardy Collins. It came a day after he was burned on thedefensive end by Miami's Jason Williams in a 75-72 loss.

Marbury left the team in Phoenix but returned as a reserve thefollowing day in Los Angeles.


He also came off the bench in the next three games as the Knickswent winless on their Western swing before Marbury returned tothe starting lineup last Tuesday in a sloppy home loss to GoldenState. The Knicks committed 29 turnovers in a 26-point defeatin that contest.


The combination of the Marbury-Thomas rift and the eight-gamelosing streak appeared to have the Knicks spiraling out ofcontrol before they could even get to Thanksgiving.

But Marbury has played well in the last two games, and theKnicks have improved to 4-9, which is a lot better than themark they could have taken into Boston for a nationallytelevised contest on Thursday.


After scoring 19 points in Saturday's 85-78 win over Chicago,Marbury still heard some boos during pregame introductions. Bythe time he checked out for a break late in the third quarterwith 22 points, he was getting some cheers.


The fans had plenty of reason to react positively towards theKnicks in this one. They took an 89-80 lead into the fourth anda 10-point edge with 7:54 left when Marbury finished off athree-point play.


Utah got it to 105-101 when Carlos Boozer put back AndreiKirilenko's missed foul shot with 4:26 remaining. The Jazzmissed two chances to further get closer, but after Boozergrabbed an offensive board, Deron Williams coasted in for alayup with 3:41 remaining and it was a two-point game - forcingThomas to call a timeout.


The Jazz hung around but, with 2:26 remaining, Marbury forcedWilliams into making a backcourt violation. However, the Knickscould not capitalize as Crawford missed a runner, but Williamshad his layup blocked by Randolph.


Following a missed 3-pointer by Crawford, Randolph swooped infor a basket for a 109-104 advantage. Quentin Richardsonintercepted Utah's pass, and Marbury finished the play with alayup for a seven-point edge with 1:19 remaining.


New York took a 58-52 edge into halftime after almost nearlyblowing all of a nine-point lead. They had a 53-44 lead quicklycut to one, but Crawford capped the half with a fadeaway3-pointer from the right wing.


Crawford scored eight points in the third, including a jumperwith 4:17 remaining that put New York up 81-70. He also helpedthe Knicks maintain their lead by scoring two consecutivebaskets for a 69-59 edge with 8:29 remaining.


Boozer collected 30 points and 12 rebounds and Williams added 26and eight assists for Utah.
