Raymond Felton pulled out 20 points, 12 assists and five steals to lead the New York Knicks to a 103-95 home victory Saturday over the Chicago Bulls on Christmas Day.
Wearing green uniforms for Christmas, the Knicks managed to beat Chicago for the second time this season, winning the series for the first time since 2000-2001.
Amare Stoudemire contributed 20 points, 10 rebounds and six blocks for the Knicks. Derrick Rose led the Bulls with 25 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and six steals, but it wasn't enough to prevent a second straight loss to the Knicks, who outperformed Chicago 120-112 at United Center Nov. 4. Carlos Boozer had 26 points and 19 rebounds for the Bulls, who lost for just the second time in 11 games.
New York led by one point after the first quarter, but Chicago overtook the lead 54-52 at halftime. Both teams displayed tough offenses through the first three quarters as the Knicks regain the lead by 85-83. But the Bulls missed 12 shots in a row in the fourth, quickly falling to a 10-point deficit.
Stoudemire knocked Rose down hard to the floor on separate occasions and stuffed his shot at the rim once. Rose made several acrobatic plays at the rim and seemed more vocal than usual out on the floor with Stoudemire.
The pair exchanged words midway through the fourth quarter, but Rose said after the game he has no hard feelings toward Stoudemire.
"That's basketball," Rose said. "We got heated up for a minute, but it's nothing more than that."
