Dunleavy Leads Pacers Past Knicks in Zeke's Possible Finale

Posted Apr 16, 08 9:51 PM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – Mike Dunleavy tied a career high with 36 points, and the Indiana Pacers beat New York 132-123 on Wednesday night, sending the Knicks to a franchise record-tying 59th loss in what might have been Isiah Thomas' last game as coach. New Knicks president Donnie Walsh hasn't promised Thomas he'll keep his job, and Thomas gave Walsh another reason to fire him.

The Knicks allowed their highest point total of the season. It was Walsh's first game in Indiana since stepping down as Pacers CEO last month, then replacing Thoma as president of the Knicks. Dunleavy scored 36 points for the fifth time this season, and the third against the Knicks. He averaged 31 points this season against New York.

That’s just what the league needs to crack down on, Mike McGraw writes in the Arlington Heights (Ill.) Daily Herald, who’s “disgusted by the lack of respect shown to fans” who shell out good money for seats behind the bench, only to miss the action when the scrubs won’t sit down. More »

(His jersey is only the third-best seller in the league.) That could change if he wins a ring, writes Advertising Age. “To an extent, championships define athletes," says the CEO of James’ marketing company.
