Knicks get help & beat Nuggets, 109-104!

The Denver Nuggets were visiting the Garden for their first and only time this season.

The Nuggets got off to a quick start by scoring the first twelve points of the game.

That lead disappeared fast. They did lead by one, 27-26 after the first quarter.

The Knicks did take a few small leads in the second quarter.

The Nuggets ran off some unanswered points just before the half to go the locker room with a 53-49 advantage.

In the third quarter, both teams were trading baskets until late in the quarter when the Knicks went on a run to open their lead up to 9, 83-74 after 3 quarters.

In the fourth quarter, the Nuggets managed to get close again.

But with 3:30 left in the game things changed, David Lee was called for sixth and final foul on an apparent charge.

All of a sudden, the three blind officials huddled up and decided to reverse the call to a block on the Nuggets.

David Lee who was headed to the bench wound up shooting 2 free throws instead.

That marked the beginning of the end for the Nuggets.

Despite that horrible call, the Nuggets still had a chance to win the game.

Superstar Carmelo Anthony who lead all scorers in the game with 36 points missed a few chances down the stretch to be the ultimate hero.

Teammate Chauncey Billups added 25 in the loss for the Nuggets.

For the Knicks, Danilo Gallanari had a team high 28 and Al Harrington contributed 23 in the Knick victory.
