NEW YORK (AP) - Danilo Gallinari and Landry Fields made consecutive 3-pointers in the final 1:18, and the New York Knicks took advantage of LeBron James's miserable shooting night to beat the Miami Heat 93-88 on Thursday night.
Amare Stoudemire scored 24 points for the Knicks, when he was often the only one in a white jersey to make a shot for three quarters. But Gallinari was huge in the fourth quarter, when New York finally contained Dwyane Wade after he was nearly perfect through 36 minutes.
Gallinari finished with 20 points and Fields added 19 points and 13 rebounds to help the Knicks win their second straight after a six-game skid.
Wade, fighting migraines that forced him to wear goggles, had 34 points and 16 rebounds, but missed all seven shots in the fourth quarter after he was 14 of 15 through three. James was 7 of 24 for his 24 points.
The Heat, playing without Chris Bosh because of a sprained left ankle, lost for the fifth time in six games. They managed only 15 points in the fourth quarter as their seven-game winning streak against the Knicks was snapped.
Mavericks 111, Rockets 106
DALLAS (AP) - Tyson Chandler matched his season high with 21 points and had 15 rebounds, reserve J.J. Barea added 19 points and Dallas hung on after wasting most of a 25-point first-half lead.
Dirk Nowitzki had 18 points and Jason Terry contributed 15 points for Dallas. The Mavericks have won four of five following a six-game losing streak.
Luis Scola led Houston with 30 points, and Kevin Martin had 27.
