NEW YORK, N.Y. - Portland coach Terry Stotts always knows he can dial up LaMarcus Aldridges number when the Trail Blazers need someone to settle them down.Aldridge scored 24 points, including six in the final 2:46, and the Trail Blazers regrouped after blowing a 11-point lead in the fourth quarter to beat the New York Knicks 103-99 on Sunday night for their fourth straight victory.He does that often, Stotts said. Hes a stabilizing influence at the offensive end. We have a lot ways we can score, but when things are going a little sideways we usually rely on him.Carmelo Anthony had 23 points with LeBron James sitting courtside, but the Knicks lost their eighth straight and 12th in their last 13. J.R. Smith scored 20 points off the bench and Amare Stoudemire added 16 for New York, whose 4-18 start is a franchise worst.Losing games as close as we are losing them, whether its five or six points over the past 13 games, this is new to me. This feeling is new to me, Anthony said.This situation is new to me. But, were not going to stop and Im not going to stop. The easy thing to do is to stop right now, hang your heads, and nobody is going to feel sorry for us so weve got to keep on going.The Trail Blazers came in having won four straight over New York. It seemed they were on their way to an easy victory, leading 92-81 with 7:35 left after Wesley Matthews, who scored 17 points, capped a 9-2 run of his own with his second 3-pointer in that spurt.The Knicks then went on a 16-5 run, taking the lead on Anthonys basket that gave them a 97-95 advantage with 3:33 remaining, Damian Lillard made a free throw, and after a turnover by Stoudemire and a Knicks timeout with 3:19 to go, Aldridge made two free throws to give Portland the lead for good, 98-97 with 2:46 left.Coach came to me. I did my best to either make a shot or try to get to the line, said Aldridge, who also posted 11 rebounds, his fifth straight double-double against New York.The Knicks cut it to 100-99 on Stoudemires dunk with 1:27 left. But just like Aldridge did back on Feb. 5, when he hit a turnaround jumper with 35 seconds to seal the win for the Trail Blazers at Madison Square Garden, the All-Star forward answered right back with a 14-foot jumper and Portland held on to improve to 16-4, tied for the second-best record in the league.This is history. Reggie Miller and all those guys have had big games here, Aldridge added. It is always fun to come to this building and play good.With a night off in New York before Cleveland visits Brooklyn on Monday, James was back at Madison Square Garden for the second time in four nights. He helped the Cavaliers beat the Knicks on Thursday.I knew he was in town, but I didnt believe that he would come, Anthony said. That just goes to show what type of guy he is regardless of what team hes on. Theres a support system there. I took my hat off to him for coming to support me tonight. At the end of the day he had a couple of days off and he came to support. I dont think you can say anything bad about that.TIP-INSTrail Blazers: Before Stotts took over, the Trail Blazers were 2-3 in their previous five games against the Knicks. .
