--It has been quite a while since the Knicks were celebrating this early in the season. They improved to 6-3 with a win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday, which is the franchise's best start since the lockout ended in 1999.
"It feels real good, but it's just the start," F Zach Randolph said. --G Nate Robinson came to life on Friday at Madison Square Garden, but only the viewers at home got to appreciate the show. He became the first player in Knicks' history to wear a microphone during a telecast, although MSG Network only used select bits and pieces. Robinson never stops talking, and was in rare form after the opening tip.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "It's human nature to celebrate a little early. We didn't run out of energy physically, I think mentally we got a little happy." -- Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni, explaining how a 30-point lead nearly got away.
