Zach Randolph had 20 points and 15 rebounds, Marc Gasol added 24 points and the Memphis Grizzlies handed the New York Knicks their first loss of the season with a 105-95 victory on Friday night....

Raymond Felton scored 25 points and the New York Knicks stayed undefeated by rallying to beat the San Antonio Spurs 104-100 on Thursday night.

Say goodbye to Linsanity, New York. Jeremy Lin is taking his game off Broadway -- way off -- to Houston after the Knicks announced Tuesday night they would not match the Rockets' three-year, $25 million offer for the restricted free agent. "Extremely excited and honored to be a Houston Rocket again!!" Lin posted on his Twitter account.

Jason Kidd would also be invaluable as a mentor to Jeremy Lin, the Knicks’ precocious 23-year-old point guard, assuming they can keep him.

The NBA playoffs are in full swing and already there have been some surprises. Who would have thought the Bulls could lose a first-round series, or that the Knicks would win a game against the Miami Heat?
