THE New York Knicks came from 17 points down to beat Brooklyn 100-97 on Tuesday, boosting their lead atop the NBA Eastern Conference standings and inflicting a fifth successive defeat on the suddenly struggling Nets.
Elsewhere, the Los Angeles Clippers brought up their longest winning streak for two decades while their crosstown rivals, the Los Angeles Lakers, saw their season lurch closer to crisis with a defeat at the hands of lowly Cleveland.
New York's Carmelo Anthony scored a season-high 45 points while 39-year-old point guard Jason Kidd made the tiebreaking 3-pointer with 24 seconds left.
Kidd finished with 18 points against his former team, which used to dominate the Knicks when he played in New Jersey. Now the series is tied at 1-1 since the Nets moved to Brooklyn, both games coming down to a tense finale.
Brooklyn's Andray Blatche scored 23 points in place of Brook Lopez, who missed his sixth straight game with a sprained right foot.
Deron Williams and Gerald Wallace both missed potential tying 3-pointers on the last possession after Kidd broke a 97-97 tie with his 3-pointer from the left side while being fouled.
The Clippers made it seven straight wins with a 94-89 road victory over the Chicago Bulls, with Blake Griffin having 22 points and 10 rebounds.
Chicago's Marco Belinelli hit a 3-pointer with less than a minute left to cut the deficit to 89-87, but Chris Paul answered with a floater in the lane, then sealed the win with three free throws. Paul finished with 18 points. Carlos Boozer had 24 points and 13 rebounds for the Bulls.
