"David Lee did everything last night but burn the whole damn Garden down.

Lee took no prisoners, drawing Knicks blood, leaving his own on the court, knocking out Wilson Chandler's front tooth and knocking coach Mike D'Antoni's team into crisis.

Playing like a real warrior, Lee got the win he craved, scoring 28 points, ripping down 10 rebounds, making 5 of 6 clutch free throws in the final 2:42 to will the Warriors to a 122-117 win and hand-deliver the Knicks a three-game losing streak and 3-5 record. He got a standing ovation and a touching video tribute.

Lee's elbow caught Chandler in the mouth in the third quarter, cracking his tooth as they went up for a rebound. Lee played with a bloody left elbow that was wrapped in white the rest of the way. But blood still could be seen seeping through.

"Sliced it up pretty good," Lee said. "I could actually see a little of the bone coming out a bit. It'll required a few stitches. I just wanted to hang out with the Knicks medical staff a little more, I haven't seen them in a while.""
