Knicks hit six treys, win in nick of time

-

NEW YORK – The New York Knicks pulled out a 97-93 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats with a late flurry of three-pointers in the NBA on Thursday.

Wilson Chandler scored a season-high 27 points to lead the Knicks, who hit six three-pointers in the final quarter and 12 overall. They also got a huge break when video review of Stephen Jackson’s long jumper agreed with the officials’ ruling of a two-pointer, instead of a three that would have tied it with 1:43 to go.

Chris Duhon made the tiebreaking three-pointer with 2:03 left, and Danilo Gallinari followed with two more for the home team.

David Lee had 22 points, and Gallinari finished with 17 in the Knicks’ third straight win.

Jackson scored 26 points, and reserve Flip Murray 20 for the Bobcats, who had their three-game winning streak snapped.  (AP)
