A sloppy performance by Denver cost them this afternoon against New York. "You play like that, and you're going to get beaten," said Denver coach Bob after the game. "Doesn't matter who you're playing - we proved that today." Poor play all afternoon, especially in clutch situations, proved costly for Denver and negated a solid outing by Davis.

New York was led by Stoute (10 points, 15 boards, 1 assists, a steal), Crawford (15 points, 2 blocks), Speight (8 points, a steal). Denver was led by Davis (10 points, 17 boards, 0 assists, a steal), Chopp (16 points, 5 boards, 1 assists, a steal), White (13 points, a steal, 3 blocks).

New York improve to 26-32 and 14-16 at home with this win. They hold at #4 in the Atlantic and stay at #7 overall in the Eastern Conference. Denver fall to 28-32 with the defeat. They hold at #5 in the Northwest and remain at #10 overall in the Western Conference.
