NBA Triple Threat: Your daily roundup of last night's action in the Association:

Knicks beat Jazz. Really. OK, beating the reeling Bulls? Makes sense. Beating Utah to win your second in a row? A bit more improbable, but it happened: 113-109 Knicks. The leader for New York? None other than Stephon Marbury and his team leading 28 points. The Jazz were a bit flat after Sunday's big win in Detroit, but rallied late from 10 points down to make it interesting. Thanks to some big rebounding from Zach Randolph though, the Knicks held on. Still, this whole paragraph feels like Bizzaro World.

Kings blow through Spurs It was tough, but coach Bill Fuller and his Deering Tornadoes, led by Julie Connor and Michael Manning, defeated top-ranked Valley. Oh, I'm sorry, that was Hang Time. In reality. coach Reggie Theus's Kings beat San Antonio 112-99. Beno Udrih dropped 27 points on his old team. The Spurs were tired on this second game of a back-to-back, and Duncan and Parker weren't as involved as usual, especially early. In other words, relax, Chris.

Wolves win a game! And against a good team at that, beating New Orleans 103-94 on the road. I'd say more, but I'm too gobsmacked by the fact that Marko Jaric is dating Adriana Lima.
