"The Knicks and Pistons came into Tuesday's game with the same record in their last nine games: 1-8

However, it didn't take long to figure out which team would get well, as the Knicks welcomed back Carmelo Anthony with an easy 113-86 win over the Pistons at Madison Square Garden.

The Knicks gave the Pistons a 23-point spanking at the Palace on Jan. 7 and Tuesday didn't look much different in the middle game of a three games in three nights.

In a season full of them, this ranks among the Pistons' (4-19) worst losses of the season. The 113 points was the most they've given up all season, along with the point differential (27 points)."
