Carmelo Anthony was recovering from an injury for New York, and Detroit's top two big men were also out.

The Knicks were ready to be aggressive, but the initial result was ugly -- 11 turnovers in the first quarter.

"Sometimes you can try to over-attack," guard Raymond Felton said. "Sometimes you've got to take what the defense gives you no matter who's playing."

The Knicks settled down after that sloppy start, and although they relied more than expected on their outside shooting, they eventually pulled away in the fourth quarter for an 87-77 victory Wednesday night.
