Stoudemire scores 34, Knicks win fifth straight

NEW YORK (AP) -- Amare Stoudemire arrived in July and announced the New York Knicks were back, vowing things would be different for the longtime losers.

"This was the plan," he said. "The plan was to have success."

Right now, nobody can stop him from backing up his boast.

Stoudemire scored 34 points to lead the surging Knicks to their fifth straight victory, 121-114 over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night.

Wilson Chandler added 21 points and Raymond Felton had 18 points and 11 assists for the Knicks, who won for the 10th time in 11 games and improved to 13-9, the first time they've been four games over .500 since finishing the 2000-01 season with a 48-34 record.

The key has been Stoudemire, who has surpassed 30 in every game during the winning streak, the first Knicks player with five straight 30-point games since Stephon Marbury from Feb. 4-11, 2005.

I guess the Celtics now have a team in the Eastern Conference they need to be concerned about.

3. At last, you're on board with America's Team!

Seriesly. Mike Bream on WFAN in New York used to refer to the Knicks, who were almost as bad then (early '90s) as they have been recently, as "America's Team, the New York Knicks". :rofl:

5. The Knicks were bad in the early 90's? Didn't they have Patrick Ewing??...

Uh never mind. Ewing always got killed by Reggie (7-points in 18 seconds) Miller!!

:rofl:

7. Patrick started to establish himself shortly after the period in question

and they turned things around. Even got to a couple of NBA Finals (choke choke choooooke).

4. Congrats to the Knicks, and pretty soon, they won't even be the worst

team in NY (once the Nets get to town).

6. The Brooklyn Nets?

8. You know who else has a 5 game winning streak?

That is in the Eastern Conference so I'm not talking Denver or Dallas. 7 and 9 for those teams.
