"The Knicks ain't quit. That's what championship teams do. They're never down and out," Anthony said. "This got to be one of the greatest games, one of the greatest comebacks ever in the history of the NBA.
"To see how they did it, they never gave up. They were down 20, 30 and they fought back piece by piece by piece. ... They were incredible tonight."
