NEW YORK (AP) --
NEW YORK (AP) - Nate Robinson showed his game is much more than
dunks, scoring 27 points Monday to lead the New York Knicks to a
99-91 victory and a split of a home-and-home series with the
Detroit Pistons.
Chosen earlier in the day to defend his slam dunk title at
All-Star weekend, Robinson made five 3-pointers, one during a 7-0
spurt that started the fourth quarter and gave the Knicks the lead
for good.
Fellow reserve Al Harrington and Wilson Chandler each added 17
points as the Knicks bounced back from consecutive losses,
including Saturday's 94-90 defeat in Detroit, and improved to 18-6
on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Rodney Stuckey scored 22 for the short-handed Pistons, who had
their three-game winning streak snapped. They led after three
quarters with a gutty effort but simply didn't have enough
firepower with four of their top six scorers out.
