Coming off one of the worst games of his young career, Dwyane Wade studied video, made adjustments and took it to the New York Knicks. Wade had 30 points, nine assists and five rebounds to help the Miami Heat beat the Knicks 111-100 on Sunday night. "He's methodical. He really took in the film today," Heat coach Pat Riley said.

In a season where little has gone right, chalk up one huge wrong for the New York Knicks. Rookie Channing Frye left the Knicks' 114-109 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday night with a sprained left knee ligament -- an injury caused when teammate Nate Robinson seemed to knock Andre Barrett into him.

New York Knicks rookie Channing Frye will miss the rest of the season because of a sprained left knee ligament. An MRI exam in New York on Wednesday confirmed the injury. Frye will be on crutches for the next three weeks, but surgery will not be needed. The Knicks expect Frye to be able to return in time for summer league play in July.

Maybe Dwight Howard should come off the bench every night. The second-year forward had 23 points and seven rebounds in 23 minutes, and the Magic rolled over the New York Knicks 111-87 Wednesday night in Steve Francis' return to Orlando. Howard, a 20-year-old drafted last year out of high school, missed the first start of his entire athletic career after showing up late for shootaround.

One of the NBA's oldest rivalries is not much of a competition anymore. Paul Pierce and Wally Szczerbiak each scored 22 points, Delonte West added 21, and the Boston Celtics beat the New York Knicks 123-98 on Wednesday night. The Celtics snapped a two-game losing streak and handed the Knicks their sixth straight loss.
Grizzlies 91, Knicks 75 (AP)
It looked like a mismatch: The turnover-prone New York Knicks against an excellent defensive team in the Memphis Grizzlies. And that's exactly the way it turned out. Pau Gasol scored 36 points, and the Grizzlies used a dominant defensive effort to pull away early and beat the Knicks 91-75 Friday night for their sixth straight victory.
Timberwolves 98, Knicks 94 (AP)
After the Minnesota Timberwolves avoided their biggest collapse in franchise history, Kevin Garnett made it clear he doesn't want to go through another season like this one. And both Garnett and Stephon Marbury said they would be open to being reunited in the future -- although neither seems to want to change cities.
