Young ‘Staps struggled from the field yet again (6-19) but still wound up with 17 points and 10 rebounds.
Justin Holiday helped put the Knicks up late with a huge three:

Joakim Noah overcame Sacramento’s hack-a-Noah strategy by sinking two from the charity stripe with two minutes remaining. Don’t let Boogie make fun of your shooting form, my man!
