The New York Knicks' revival under coach Mike Woodson is turning the Atlantic Division into a three-team race. The Philadelphia 76ers would prefer to keep that from happening. The Knicks look to cut further into the 76ers' lead atop the Atlantic when the rivals meet for the final time this season Wednesday night at Wells Fargo Center. New York (22-24) seemed to be fading as recently as a week ago, when a six-game skid dropped the club seven games behind Philadelphia and 4 1/2 back of second-place Boston, prompting coach Mike D'Antoni's resignation. With Woodson at the helm, the Knicks have since won four in a row by an average of 22.5 points including Tuesday's 106-87 home victory over Toronto. Suddenly, New York is within four games of the Sixers and 2 1/2 of the Celtics. Knicks win 82-79. Watch highlights and other videos at The Hoop Diaries .

From NBA.com Linsanity had nearly reached its peak when Jeremy Lin hit a game-winning 3-pointer to defeat the Toronto Raptors last month. While the hoopla surrounding Lin has since cooled a bit, interim coach Mike Woodson is starting to create a buzz of his own. After New York's brutal losing stretch, Woodson seems to have the Knicks back on track and will look to stay undefeated when the Raptors visit Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night. Mike D'Antoni resigned two days after the Knicks (21-24) suffered their sixth straight defeat March 12. A change at the top seems to have a made a world of difference for New York, which finds itself 3-0 under Woodson. After blowing out Portland 121-79 in Woodson's first game Wednesday, the Knicks completed a home-and-home sweep of Indiana with Saturday's 102-88 road win. The New York Knicks are playing with renewed vigor under Mike Woodson. Their defense has been top notched today against the Toronto Raptors. Carmelo An...

In a stunning turn of events, Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni resigned today shocking both his bosses and the players. Mike Woodson has been placed as Interim Head Coach. The Knicks finally worked together using Coach D'Antoni's offensive system. Mike Woodson has experience trying to turn around a struggling team when he spent six years in Atlanta. The Knicks won 121-79. Jeremy Lin finished with 6 points, 6 assist and 6 turnovers. Anthony finished with 16 points, Stoudemire with 17 points while J.R. Smith finished with 23 and Novak with 20.

CHICAGO — As the NBA trade deadline approaches Thursday, the relationship between Mike D’Antoni and Carmelo Anthony appears to be deteriorating. There are several indications the alliance is getting worse, not better, and it seems inconceivable both will be back with the Knicks next season. According to a source familiar with the situation, Anthony is disgruntled and he may have given off those signs when he didn’t join the huddle during a third-quarter timeout. (Anthony claimed that occurs often). Anything bold happening at the trade deadline would seem unlikely. D’Antoni is more likely to get fired than Anthony get traded after the Knicks dropped their sixth straight game, 104-99, to the Bulls. Anthony, who was benched the entire fourth quarter Sunday and didn’t seem happy about it afterward, finished with 21 points but took 21 shots to get there. The Knicks are 2-8 since Anthony returned from injury and D’Antoni continues to stress running the club through Jeremy Lin and not...

From CBSSports.com NEW YORK -- After another loss by the no-fun Knicks, the one voice that mattered the most resonated in the locker room. How far it carries will determine whether the Knicks make the playoffs or undergo an even more extensive transformation than the building in which they play in. That is, if you can call this playing. Amar'e Stoudemire stood at his locker and correctly diagnosed the problems with a team that can't get out of its own way with three superstars on the floor. Which is why coach Mike D'Antoni, hearing the first fire-the-coach chants since Isiah Thomas was roaming the Garden, chose to finish the game with two of those stars and their nearly $37 million in salaries sitting on the bench. These are dark days for the Knicks, who hit a point of no return Sunday with a listless 106-94 loss to the 76ers, whom they treated like a pickup opponent at the YMCA rather than the likely winner of the Atlantic Division. "I think we could've ...

DALLAS — On a night of happy homecomings and warm sentiments, the Knicks’ final expression was a scowl, a mixture of frustration, disappointment and confusion. Tyson Chandler got his championship ring, Amar’e Stoudemire found his stride and the Knicks staged a spectacular fourth-quarter rally Tuesday night against the Dallas Mavericks. But the night ended with another loss, 95-85, and renewed concerns about the Knicks’ esprit de corps — and specifically about the mental state of their franchise star. Carmelo Anthony appeared disengaged for most of the night, shot poorly (2 for 12) and came up empty when he returned for the final four minutes of the game after the Knicks’ bench got them back in the game. He finished with 6 points. Afterward, Anthony left without speaking to reporters, saying, “Not tonight” as he moved quickly down an arena hallway. He was on the bus for 10 minutes before returning to speak with a handful of reporters, apparently after being summoned. He spoke brie...

Jeremy Lin got his big break when Carmelo Anthony got injured in the Knicks game against the New Jersey Nets. Since Jeremy Lin started playing, the Knicks are 8 and 1 compared to when Carmelo was playing. Carmelo Anthony is scheduled to return to playing tonight and marks the first time Jeremy Lin will be playing with Carmelo Anthony. The big question on everyone's mind is, how well will Carmelo blend in with the style of play the Knicks are playing right now. Carmelo is well known as a one-on-one playing and a ball hog which bogs down the offense compared to the moving and running style of play Jeremy Lin brings to the Knicks and also the style of coaching of Mike D'Antoni. In this interview, Stephen A. Smith talks to Carmelo Anthony about Linsanity.
