DANILO Gallinari had 27 points and 10 rebounds as the New York Knicks beat the Phoenix Suns 126-99 yesterday to snap a five-game losing streak and give their coach a resounding victory over his old team.
David Lee added 24 points and Al Harrington had 22 for the Knicks, who rang up a season-best 71 first-half points, then blew it open when Gallinari scored seven points in a span of barely a minute midway through the third quarter.
Steve Nash had 20 points and eight assists for the Suns (14-4), who came in with the NBA's best record. They had won four straight by an average of 21.3 points.
It was a sweet victory for Mike D'Antoni, who rode his high-scoring offensive system to an average of 58 wins in his four full seasons in Phoenix before he and the Suns parted ways after a first-round loss to San Antonio in 2008.
Celtics 108, Bobcats 90
At Charlotte, North Carolina, Ray Allen broke out of his shooting slump with 27 points, and Kendrick Perkins added 21 points and 12 rebounds as Boston cruised past Charlotte for its fifth straight victory.
Led by Allen, the Celtics had little trouble slowing the Bobcats, who had won four straight. Entering shooting 30 percent from 3-point range, Allen took only nine shots, but hit 5 of 6 3-pointers, including one from behind the plane of the backboard with 1 second left to give the Celtics a 62-39 halftime lead.
Nazr Mohammed had 16 points for the Bobcats.
Wizards 106, Raptors 102
