Knicks finally win two straight, top struggling Sixers
Basketball Betting Lines
03/15/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Danilo Gallinari finished with 21 points to lead the New York Knicks to a 94-84 victory over the struggling Philadelphia 76ers.
Rookie Toney Douglas added 20 points and seven assists for the Knicks, who were coming off Saturday's victory at Dallas that snapped the Mavericks' 13- game winning streak. New York hadn't won consecutive games since a three-game streak from January 1-7.
Tracy McGrady hit 4-of-5 from three-point range on his way to 14 points, while David Lee added 16 rebounds and eight points. Wilson Chandler had 12 points and 11 boards in the victory.
Rookie Jrue Holiday had 18 points, eight rebounds and six assists to pace the Sixers, who have lost five in a row and 10 of their last 11. Andre Iguodala finished with 14 points and 17 rebounds, while Samuel Dalembert recorded 11 points and 18 boards for Philadelphia, which held a 54-38 rebounding advantage and collected 21 on the offensive end.
However, the Sixers had just 20 second-chance points as they shot 38.4 percent. Iguodala was a main factor in that percentage, as he missed all seven of his three-point tries and was 5-of-22 overall.
Each team led in the first quarter, which Chandler closed with a layup for a 26-25 Knicks edge. The Sixers, however, surged in the second quarter behind a 10-point effort from reserve Willie Green and nine points from Holiday.
Holiday scored seven in a row early in the frame to put Philadelphia ahead 35-30, and Green eventually ended the first half with a layup to put the Sixers up 55-44 at the break.
Philadelphia was still ahead by nine with five minutes left in the third quarter, but the Knicks ended the frame on a 17-4 run. Lee closed it with a layup as New York went into the fourth quarter with a 73-69 advantage.
The Knicks couldn't pull away, however, and Holiday's layup with 3:47 left had the Sixers within 85-82. But Douglas countered with a jumper, and after a series of misses, Gallinari sank two from the line with 2:03 to play for an 89-82 advantage. An Iguodala miss led to a Gallinari three, and the Knicks held on from there.
