Knicks use long ball to beat Bobcats, 97-93

Chris Duhon made the tiebreaking three-point shot with 2:03 left, Danilo Gallinari followed with two more, and the New York Knicks pulled out a 97-93 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Thursday night.

Wilson Chandler scored a season-high 27 points to lead the Knicks, who made six three-pointers in the final quarter and 12 overall. They also got a huge break when video review of Stephen Jackson’s long jumper agreed with the officials’ ruling of a two-point shot, instead of a three that would have tied the score with 1:43 to go.

David Lee had 22 points, and Gallinari finished with 17 for the Knicks, who have won three straight and 11 of 16. Jackson scored 26 points for the Bobcats, whose winning streak ended at three games.
