| Boston, MA (Sportsbooks) - Ray Allen scored 24 points and came up with a crucial block in the final minute, helping Boston to a 110-106 win over the New York Knicks, culminating a night that saw Nate Robinson and Eddie House playing against their old teams after last week's trade. Rajon Rondo contributed 15 points and 16 assists for the Celtics, who won for the fourth time in five contests and bounced back from a nine-point defeat at Denver on Sunday. Kevin Garnett chipped in 16 points, eight rebounds and |

| (Sportsbooks) - Celtics newcomer Nate Robinson will welcome his former employer to Boston this evening, when the New York Knicks pay a visit to TD Garden in a showdown between Atlantic Division rivals. Robinson was acquired by Boston before the trade deadline, but hasn't suited up with his new teammates because of flu-like symptoms. The first ever three- time Slam Dunk champion, who hasn't played since February 9, averaged 13.2 points in 30 contests with the Knicks this season. He is listed as probable for |

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -The start of what might be Darko Milicic's last chance in the NBA was a good one. Milicic, who was traded to Minnesota last week by the New York Knicks, didn't know how much he would play prior to Minnesota's 109-107 loss to Oklahoma City on Sunday night. He certainly didn't think he would play a season-high 19 minutes. The 24-year-old, who hadn't played since Nov. 13 and only played eight games for the Knicks, was effective for the Timberwolves, finishing with 8 points and 8 rebounds. |

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -Darko Milicic is about to begin what might be his last chance in the NBA. Milicic, who was traded to Minnesota last week by the New York Knicks, is expected to play for the first time in more than three months when the Timberwolves host Oklahoma City on Sunday. The 24-year-old hasn't played since Nov. 13 and saw time in only eight games this season for the Knicks. Milicic wanted to be released so he could return to his native Serbia. When he found out that he had been traded to the str |

The Knicks acquired the seven-time All-Star on Thursday in a three-team deal with Houston and Sacramento. McGrady played only six games for the Rockets this season after coming back from microfracture knee surgery. He says he hopes he can play 25 to 30 minutes Satur |

GREENBURGH, N.Y. (AP) -Tracy McGrady is going to get a chance to show he is still a top NBA player. And he wants to stick around if the New York Knicks bring in some bigger stars this summer, even if it means taking less money. McGrady joined the Knicks on Friday after being acquired in a three-team trade a day earlier. He says he is healthy after microfracture knee surgery, vowing that, ``This is not the same Tracy from last season, when I was hobbling on one leg.'' The seven-time All-Star knows he c |
