Great players have a knack for doing great things at Madison Square Garden. MJ dropped 33 in just his seventh pro game ever at MSG back in 1984—and put up 55 in his fifth game back from his early retirement in 1995. LeBron James has two 50+ point games at the Garden. And Kobe Bryant holds the record for most points scored by a Knicks opponent—61 (watch every point he scored in the clip below!)—at their home arena. So despite the fact that we've still got a mean adrenaline hangover from last night's Lakers/Celtics contest at the other Garden, we'll be up for this game tonight. And we're betting Kobe will be, too. [Game preview, via ESPN]
