Stephon Marbury made his Boston debut on Friday night in a win over Indiana, and admitted that he's only human.

"The situation was what the situation was," he said Friday. "I'm human. I made mistakes. I've learned from my mistakes. You have to keep pushing on."

Friday night's game marked Marbury's first of the season. He accepted a contract buyout from the Knicks on Tuesday, which ended a four-month standoff.

Fans at TD Banknorth Garden in Boston gave Marbury a standing ovation when he entered the game for the first time near the end of the first quarter.

"I wanted to cry, I was so happy. I didn't know how they'd respond," Marbury said.
