If you would have told either team how this game was going to end before the game, none of them would have believed you. The two teams were in overtime number 2 with 0.1 seconds on the clock and the Bobcats were currently ahead 110-109, making it seem as if they had the game in hand. No way possible can the Knicks score with 0.1 left on the clock, right? WRONG

David Lee won the game for the New York Knicks by tipping in an extremely long inbound pass as time expired, giving the Knicks the 111-110 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats.

The Knicks had to play the game, still missing 3 players from the suspensions due to the brawl with Denver, and starters Steve Francis and Quentin Richardson were also out with injuries. Going into the game it seemed the Bobcats would win due to the disadvantage the Knicks were facing. The Bobcats had a 19 point lead at one point and it all seemed over for the New York Knicks. When asked about the play that ended the game, Knicks guard Jamal Crawford said, “I’ve never seen a play like that and it worked to perfection.”

The Bobcats were lead in scoring by Gerald Wallace’s 28 and Primoz Brezec put up 21 in the losing effort. Raymond Felton, Adam Morrison, Matt Carroll and Emeka Okafor all put up 10+ points for the Bobcats as well, but it just wasn’t enough. “When you’re a team like we are, things tend to happen the wrong way for us,” Gerald Wallace said. “Their luck tonight, our bad luck.”
