New York, NY – Missing Amare Stoudemire and Jeremy Lin, the Knicks got 28 points and 12 rebounds from Carmelo Anthony to down the Bucks, 89-80, in Monday's critical Eastern Conference clash.
Stoudemire is out indefinitely with a bulging disc in his lower back and Lin is dealing with a sore right knee, but Tyson Chandler and Baron Davis added 13 points apiece on Monday, allowing New York to extend its lead over Milwaukee for the eighth and final Eastern Conference playoff spot to 2 1/2 games.
The Knicks, who trail Atlantic Division-leading Philadelphia and Boston by 2 1/2 games, improved to 7-1 under interim coach Mike Woodson.
Mike Dunleavy made five three-pointers and finished with 26 points to pace the Bucks, losers of three of their last four. Brandon Jennings had 15 on 6-of-22 shooting.
