MIAMI -- With the game on the line, LeBron James got past Carmelo Anthony.
Not Amar'e Stoudemire, however.
And just like that, the New York Knicks -- with defense, no less -- knocked off the Miami Heat.
Chauncey Billups made the go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:01 left, Stoudemire blocked James' layup try with 7 seconds remaining to protect a one-point lead, and the Knicks finished with a 13-2 run to beat the Heat 91-86 on Sunday night.
"The bigger the game, the bigger the stage, the bigger they play," Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni said.
Anthony scored 29 points and Stoudemire added 16 points and 10 rebounds. Billups had 16 points for the Knicks, who rallied from a 15-point, first-half deficit and improved to 2-1 since the megatrade with Denver that dramatically changed their roster.
