Knicks finally win two straight, top struggling Sixers
Basketball Betting Lines
03/15/2010 -
Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Danilo Gallinari finished with 21 points
to lead the New York Knicks to a 94-84 victory over the struggling
Philadelphia 76ers.
Rookie Toney Douglas added 20 points and seven assists for the Knicks, who
were coming off Saturday's victory at Dallas that snapped the Mavericks' 13-
game winning streak. New York hadn't won consecutive games since a three-game
streak from January 1-7.
Tracy McGrady hit 4-of-5 from three-point range on his way to 14 points, while
David Lee added 16 rebounds and eight points. Wilson Chandler had 12 points
and 11 boards in the victory.
Rookie Jrue Holiday had 18 points, eight rebounds and six assists to pace the
Sixers, who have lost five in a row and 10 of their last 11. Andre Iguodala
finished with 14 points and 17 rebounds, while Samuel Dalembert recorded 11
points and 18 boards for Philadelphia, which held a 54-38 rebounding advantage
and collected 21 on the offensive end.
However, the Sixers had just 20 second-chance points as they shot 38.4
percent. Iguodala was a main factor in that percentage, as he missed all seven
of his three-point tries and was 5-of-22 overall.
Each team led in the first quarter, which Chandler closed with a layup for a
26-25 Knicks edge. The Sixers, however, surged in the second quarter behind a
10-point effort from reserve Willie Green and nine points from Holiday.
Holiday scored seven in a row early in the frame to put Philadelphia ahead
35-30, and Green eventually ended the first half with a layup to put the
Sixers up 55-44 at the break.
Philadelphia was still ahead by nine with five minutes left in the third
quarter, but the Knicks ended the frame on a 17-4 run. Lee closed it with a
layup as New York went into the fourth quarter with a 73-69 advantage.
The Knicks couldn't pull away, however, and Holiday's layup with 3:47 left had
the Sixers within 85-82. But Douglas countered with a jumper, and after a
series of misses, Gallinari sank two from the line with 2:03 to play for an
89-82 advantage. An Iguodala miss led to a Gallinari three, and the Knicks
held on from there.
Game Notes
The Sixers shot 27.3 percent in the second half. They scored fewer points in
the final two quarters (29) than they did in the second quarter alone

Super Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. The game kicks off at 6:00pm ET on NBC with announcers Al Michaels and John Madden covering the on-field action. Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds
Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:
Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
