Posted Last Night's Action: Is It a Moral Victory? to Gothamist
- Cavaliers 100, Knicks 91: Is finishing within nine points of the Cavaliers a moral victory. What about holding LeBron James to 33 after he scored 53 in his final trip in the building last year. To answer the first question, not when the team trailed by 23 at the half. As for the second, James shot 12-for-17, had eight rebounds and nine assists, so he was hardly in check. Larry Hughes had 18 (Larry Hughes!) and David Lee led the Knicks with 21. The Knicks, now 1-5, have Milwaukee on the road on Saturday.

Posted Last Night's Action: A-Rod Lifts Yanks to 3-1 Lead to Gothamist
- Yankees 7, Phillies 4: Alex Rodriguez hit a go-ahead double in the top of the ninth to help the Yankees bounce back from a blown lead and take a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven World Series. Joba Chamberlain had served up a two-strike, two-out homer to Pedro Feliz in the bottom of the eighth, and the first two Yankees in the top of the ninth had made out. But Johnny Damon hit an opposite-field single and stole second and third on the same pitch. Mark Teixeira was hit by a pitch, and that set the stage for Rodriguez's double. Jorge Posada singled in two more runs to give Mariano Rivera some breathing room.

Posted Last Night's Action: Yanks Wake Up to Down Phils to Gothamist
- Yankees 8, Phillies 5: Things looked bleak when Andy Pettitte gave up three runs in the second inning. But Alex Rodriguez hit a two-run homer in the fourth that was originally ruled a double, but then reversed by the umpires with instant replay, and then the Yankees -- helped by an Andy Pettitte RBI single -- scored three in the fifth. They added a run each in the sixth, seventh and eighth and now own a two games to one lead in the World Series. Hideki Matsui and Nick Swisher also had homers, and Johnny Damon had a critical two-run double.
