The team cooled down after, but stayed warm enough to finish it off. Carter was promissing a surprise on Christmas. Going 6 for 20 on Christmas Day is a surprise alright...just not the surprise we expected. Knicks 102 Toronto 94 Heartbreakers Philadelphia, the team that inspired basketball fans everywhere, to just be the best they can be. This season though they're not trying their best at all.
