After coming back from a 27-point deficit, the New York Knicks were in position to win on Friday night in Sacramento. Unfortunately for the Knicks, James Johnson drained a three-pointer at the buzzer, lifting the Kings past the Knicks, 106-105.

Only two games took place on Thursday, as the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Dallas Mavericks, 111-105, in a Western Conference tilt, while the Los Angeles Clippers demolished the Boston Celtics, 106-77.

Elsewhere on Friday, the Brooklyn Nets moved past the .500 mark and improved to 15-14 with a 97-81 win over the lowly Charlotte Bobcats. Blake Griffin and the Clippers won their 16th-straight game, with a thrilling 116-114 win over the Utah Jazz.

In one of the biggest upsets on Friday, the Detroit Pistons knocked off LeBron James and the Miami Heat, 109-99 -- despite James' 35 points, six rebounds and five assists. Unfortunately, the Knicks weren't able to take advantage of Miami's loss.
