David Lee replaced Eddie Curry, and while their offensive capacity in the paint weakened, their rebounding protection improved, particularly offensive rebounds. The starting inside combination of Eddie Curry and Frye virtually lacked offensive rebounding ability.

Upon entering the rotation, the offense of the Knicks Team hardly suffered.

The Bobcats substituted Rondo, Jumaine Jones, and Okafor, teaming up with Zhang Yang and Gerald Wallace. They quickly gelled, but there was a transition phase of two or three rounds, and after an official timeout, the Knicks scored a 6-2 run.

When Felton and Matt Carroll came in for Zhang Yang and Gerald Wallace, they were hit with a 5-2 run, and in those exchanges, the Bobcats fell behind by 7 points to the Knicks.
