(SportsNetwork. Adidas Nmd r1 China .com) - The New York Knicks will try for three wins in a row Tuesday night when they welcome the Washington Wizards to Madison Square Garden. After a particularly ugly season-opening loss to the Chicago Bulls at MSG, the Knicks picked up a great win in Cleveland against the Cavaliers in LeBron James return. On Sunday, the Knicks knocked off the Charlotte Hornets, 96-93, at home. Carmelo Anthony became the 40th player in NBA history to score 20,000 points in the win. Anthony, who entered the game just three points shy of the 20,000- point plateau, finished with 28 and hit the eventual game-winner for New York. Anthony drilled a contested jumper from the elbow to give New York the lead for good with 1:24 remaining. Its a humbling experience for me, Anthony said. I never thought that I would be sitting here talking about me scoring 20,000 points. Amare Stoudemire registered a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds off the bench. Iman Shumpert added 15 points as the Knicks shot 50 percent from the field and 50 percent from beyond the 3-point arc. The Wizards opened the season with a loss in Miami, but have since rattled off back-to-back victories. The Wiz beat the Orlando Magic on the road, then knocked off the Milwaukee Bucks at home, 108-97, on Saturday. Nene scored 22 points and the Wizards continued Milwaukees road woes. Otto Porter contributed 21 points and John Wall posted 19 points, 10 assists and five steals in Washingtons home opener. Marcin Gortat finished with 20 points, nine boards and three blocks, while Garrett Temple posted 18 points. The last three years we lost every home opener, so we wanted to come out and just play the right way, play our defense, move the ball and make shots, Wall said. I think we did a great job of that. Paul Pierce, playing in his first home game as a member of the Wizards, was ejected with seven seconds left in the opening half. He fouled Brandon Knight to stop a pass that would have led to a breakaway dunk from Jabari Parker. Pierce argued the clear-path foul call, which was confirmed after a video review. He was assessed two technicals and was sent to the locker room. That left the door open for Porters big night. The Wizards swept the Knicks in three games last season, but the Knicks have taken 12 of the previous 16 matchups. Washington may have won two in a row at the Garden, but it is 3-12 in its last 15 as the visitor in this series.

Up 2-0, Backlund set up Cammalleri in the slot for a power-play goal at 11:28. The quick shot past Jonas Hiller made it three goals on five shots and resulted in coach Bruce Boudreau pulling him from the game, replacing him with Frederik Andersen. The change did not change the games momentum, however. Two minutes later, Backlund scored his 15th goal of the season on a wrist shot that slipped past the rookie goaltender. Backlund added his second of the night 1:31 into the second period, this time shorthanded. Firing a wrist shot past Andersen as he broke in alone off the wing, it was the Flames second short-handed goal of the night and league-leading 11th of the season. Backlund has four of them, tying him for top spot with Bostons Brad Marchand and Tampa Bays Tyler Johnson. Mark Giordano, TJ Galiardi, Ladislav Smid and Corban Knight with his first NHL goal also scored for Calgary (26-33-7). The Flames scored more than five goals in a game for the first time this season. Andrew Cogliano with his 20th goal and Nick Bonino scored for Anaheim (43-16-7). Winless in their last four (0-2-2), the Ducks continue a three-game road trip Friday night in Colorado.

There were signs early that it wasnt going to be Anaheims night. After peppering Flames rookie goalie Joni Ortio with a couple shots in the opening minute only to come away empty, Calgary made its first shot count when Giordanos slapshot hit the shaft of Kyle Palmieris stick and re-directed into the top corner on Hiller at 3:39. Bad luck for Anaheim was followed by some bad play. After Backlund was robbed on a two-on-one short-handed breakaway, the same penalty kill produced a three-on-one shortly after with Galiardi finishing off a neat set-up from Paul Byron at 7:10. Making his fifth start in a row, Ortio had 20 saves to improve to 3-3-0. In relief, Andersen finished with 16 saves. Hiller was tagged with the loss to fall to 26-10-6.
