Knicks Numbers Crush Crush Into Stoudemire

Basketball Betting Lines

Portland, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jamal Crawford had 26 points off the bench, Gerald Wallace scored 20 and the Portland Trail Blazers continued to win against the Sacramento Kings, beating them 101-89 on Monday night. The Trail Blazers led by as many as 22 points and improved to 11-1 in their last 12 games against Sacramento.

The Kings fell to 3-6 so far during a stretch where they play 10 of their 12 games on the road.

Aldridge had five points during the burst and Wallace scored the last four on back-to-back layups -- he got a steal in between them to make it 46-31 inside three minutes.

"We did try to compete throughout the game but the second quarter got out of hand for us," said Sacramento coach Keith Smart. "We did a better job in the second half."

It was 74-56 after the third quarter and reached a game-high 22 on Crawford's runner early in the fourth.

Game Notes

Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony squared off against his former team for the first time since being traded to the Big Apple last February and struggled from a shooting standpoint (10-for-30), but scored a team-best 25 points and 10 rebounds and sent the game into overtime on a jumper at the end of regulation. Landry Fields and Iman Shumpert both netted 18 points and Amare Stoudemire had 12 and 11 boards for the Knicks, who went 0-4 on the homestand and sit third in the Atlantic Division behind the 76ers and Celtics.

"We're going to win a lot of games if we can keep this intensity and this pace," Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni said. "Obviously, we still have some things to work through, but it's a step in the right direction."

Stoudemire's numbers have dropped over the past few games and the Knicks could use a little more help from the talented big man. He said after the loss to the Nuggets that it's not about the numbers, but winning.

Charlotte has also fallen on hard times as of late, having lost four straight and 10 of 11 games, including a 97-87 loss at New Jersey on Sunday in the finale of an unsuccessful three-game road trip.

"This is part of a learning process for us," Henderson said. "Collectively, we just need to learn how to score more points. That is part of my job, and I need more assists. I'm getting better on offense, especially with my jump shot, but I need to do more. My attitude is I just want to win."
