Even without Carmelo Anthony the New York Knicks were able to post an impressive 112-92 road win in Miami to stay in control of the Eastern Conference.

The New York Knicks officially welcomed their latest acquisitions on Thursday, introducing veterans Jason Kidd and Marcus Camby to the New York media.

Four Knicks scored at least 20 points, including Carmelo Anthony who netted 35 and grabbed 12 boards, as New York won, despite a huge game from Paul Pierce, 118-110 win over the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night.

Did the Knicks play better because they had a new coach? Or, is Portland just that bad? The answer lies somewhere in between.
