NBA Game 1!

At long last, the first Knicks game of 2011. After the lockout, the free agent frenzy, and the preseason, the games have begun.

Melo scored 32 points, Tyson Chandler made a few free throws to put the game at 102-101 with under 3:00 remaining. Kevin Garnett was hit with a penalty, missed a free throw, and committed a number of fouls.

With 2:11 left, the game was tied at 102 with an offensive rebound, and the Knicks had a real chance at beating the Celtics. Melo made a jump shot, 104-102! Marquis Daniels made a layup, tied at 104. With 59 seconds left, D'Antoni called a timeout. Carmelo made 2 free throws to put it at 106-104 with 16 seconds to go! Carmelo Anthony is certainly going to be player of the game if the Knicks win!

Marquis Daniels missed a 3-pointer with 4.4 seconds remaining! Paul Pierce is well missed!

Boston and New York used timeouts, and Daniels was pulled for Keyon Dooling. On their last legs, the Celtics called on Kevin Garnett to make a 14 foot jumper. He set, and...

...he missed. Just like that, the Knicks defeated the Celtics 106-104 on Christmas Day.
