Knicks on fire from deep, beat Bulls

NEW York Knicks sank 16 of 24 3-point attempts to beat the host Chicago Bulls 120-112 in the NBA yesterday.

It was an astounding improvement for a Knicks team that hit just 29.1 percent from outside the arc over the first three games.

Toney Douglas scored a career-high 30 points, including 5-of-9 3s, while Danilo Gallinari hit four 3s without a miss and finished with 24 points - all but three in the first half as the Knicks took a 21-point lead and went in at halftime leading 70-52.

Chicago was led by Derrick Rose, who had 24 points and 14 assists, but sat out the final 9:31.

Thunder 107, Trail Blazers 106, OT

In Portland, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook both had 28 points and 11 rebounds as Oklahoma City edged Portland in overtime.

LaMarcus Aldridge led the undermanned Trail Blazers with 22 points, while Brandon Roy had 19.

Roy missed two key jump shots at the end of regulation and the Blazers could never catch up after the Thunder pulled ahead in overtime.

James Harden gave the Thunder a 103-100 lead in the extra period with a layup and a free throw. Durant and Westbrook both made two free throws in the final 13 seconds to offset Armon Johnson's 3-pointer with 0.1 seconds left.
