Smith's threes, Knicks' Wednesday performance eerily similar to 2011

Well, here's one from The Twilight Zone, courtesy of a commenter at the New York Knicks blog Posting and Toasting:

On March 17, 2011, the Knicks had a player shoot 9-12 from three point range for 29 points. Their second leading scorer in that game shot 10-19 from the field. Amare Stoudemire had 6 FGs and 5 fouls. As a team, they had 25 assists and allowed 99 points. The win brought them to 3 back of Atlanta in the loss column.

On March 26, 2014, the Knicks had a player shoot 9-12 from three point range for 29 points. Their second leading scorer in that game shot 10-19 from the field. Amare Stoudemire had 6 FGs and 5 fouls. As a team, they had 25 assists and allowed 99 points. The win brought them to 3 back of Atlanta in the loss column.
