THE New York Knicks withstood a dazzling 54-point display from Golden State's Stephen Curry on Wednesday to post a 109-105 victory over the Warriors at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Curry's points total was the highest in the National Basketball Association this season, surpassing the 52 of Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant against Dallas last month.
But his individual effort was not enough against a Knicks team that received 35 points from Carmelo Anthony and 26 off the bench from JR Smith.
Tyson Chandler contributed 16 points for New York and grabbed a career-best 28 rebounds.
Elsewhere in the NBA, it was: Cavaliers 103, Raptors 92; Kings 125, Magic 101; Pistons 96, Wizards 95; Bucks 110, Rockets 107; Grizzlies 90, Mavericks 84; Thunder 119, Hornets 74; Suns 105, Spurs 101 (in overtime); Hawks 102, Jazz 91; and Nuggets 111, Trail Blazers 109.
In New York, Curry and the Warriors nearly claimed the victory despite the absence of David Lee, serving a one-game suspension for his role in an altercation with the Pacers' Roy Hibbert at Indiana on Tuesday.
Curry made 11 of his 13 attempts from three-point range, one short of the league single-game record. He added seven assists and six rebounds.
Carl Landry scored 15 points and Jarrett Jack chipped in 14 for the Warriors.
Curry became the first player to score at least 50 points at Madison Square Garden since LeBron James did it with the Cavaliers in 2009.
He scored or assisted on Golden State's last 20 points. By then the New York crowd was cheering him, but the Knicks held the Warriors scoreless for the last two minutes.
