The Portland Trail Blazers overcame Carmelo Anthony’s season high-tying 45 points and spoiled Amare Stoudemire’s season debut, beating the New York Knicks 105-100 on Tuesday night.

New York Knicks forward Amare Stoudemire was fined $50,000 by the NBA on Tuesday for offensive and derogatory language in a Twitter message after reportedly using a gay slur in a tweet to a heckler.

Interim coach Mike Woodson thinks Amare Stoudemire is going to play for the New York Knicks on Sunday (Monday in Manila) in Game 4 against the Miami Heat.
Drops of blood stained the carpet leading up to the back entrance of the New York Knicks’ locker room. The glass portion of a nearby fire-extinguisher case was quickly replaced. And Amare Stoudemire needed doctors and paramedics to treat a cut on his left hand.
Chris Bosh scored 29 points, LeBron James survived two scary falls and the Miami Heat used a 17-0 fourth-quarter run to erase a 10-point deficit to beat Phoenix 99-95 on Tuesday night for their 14th straight home victory.
NBA fans got a big treat yesterday as the curtains opened ushering in the 2010-11 NBA season.
