    NBA Roundup

    Knicks 106, Hawks 104

    Carmelo Anthony tied a franchise record with nine 3-pointers, then converted a go-ahead, three-point play with 12.5 seconds left to cap a 42-point night and lead New York to a victory over Atlanta Sunday.

    The Hawks shot a season-high 60 percent from the field but had their three-game winning streak snapped when Josh Smith, burned on Anthony's basket, missed a 3-pointer on Atlanta's final possession.

    Amare Stoudemire and J.R. Smith each had 18 points for the Knicks, who were 16 of 27 (59 percent) from 3-point range. Raymond Felton had 12 points and 10 assists in his second game back from a broken right pinky.

    Jeff Teague scored 27 points for the Hawks. Smith added 20 and Al Horford had 16.

    Lakers 105, Thunder 96

    Kobe Bryant had 21 points, 14 assists and nine rebounds, Steve Nash added seven of his 17 points in the final 5 1-2 minutes, and the Lakers held off the NBA-leading Thunder.

    Pau Gasol scored 16 points in a reserve role as the Lakers picked up the most impressive victory of their thoroughly unimpressive season, coolly maintaining a small lead down the stretch of their second straight win after a four-game skid.

    Los Angeles had lost nine of its last 11 against the powerful Thunder, including four of five in the clubs' second-round playoff series last spring.

    Kevin Durant scored 35 points and Russell Westbrook had 17 points, 13 assists and nine rebounds for the road-weary Thunder, who finished their longest trip of the season at 3-3.

    Hornets 91, Grizzlies 83

    Ryan Anderson scored 22 points for New Orleans, connecting on seven 3-pointers.

    Anderson was 7 of 13 from the field, all of his attempts coming from outside the arc. Fellow reserve Jason Smith was 5 of 7 from the field for 16 points, and Anthony Davis was the only New Orleans starter to finish in double figures with 10 points.

    Pistons 104, Magic 102

    Brandon Knight had a career-high 31 points, including five 3-pointers, and Greg Monroe scored 17 to lead Detroit to the road win.

    The Magic had a chance to tie the game in the closing seconds after a missed free throw, but missed three putback attempts.

    Mavericks 110, Suns 95

    Shawn Marion scored 18 points in his 1,000th game, Dirk Nowitzki also had 18 while passing Allen Iverson on the career scoring list and Dallas beat Phoenix.

    It was the 10th straight home win for the Mavericks against the Suns, who haven't won in Dallas since March 14, 2007.
