Christmas spirit is beginning to show, even in the world of sports.

The Brooklyn Nets overcame huge scoring nights from Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler to take down the Knicks in the first chapter of what should be one of the best NBA rivalries.

Carmelo Anthony's red-hot start sparked the Knicks offense en route to a 121-100 victory over the Pistons on Sunday at MSG, New York's fourth 20-plus point win on the young season.

The New York Knicks shook off their first loss of the season with a bounce back 88-76 win over the Indiana Pacers at Madison Square Garden on Sunday afternoon.

Carmelo Anthony had 41, including a go-ahead 3-pointer with under a minute to play, helping the Knicks end their NBA-record 13 game playoff losing streak.
