MEMPHIS, Tenn (AP) - Carmelo Anthony made a 19-footer with less than a second left as the New York Knicks withstood a late Memphis rally and beat the Grizzlies 110-108 on Wednesday night.
The winning shot by Anthony, who finished with 31 points, came over Tony Allen after Zach Randolph's three-point play with 14 seconds remaining pulled Memphis even at 108.
Memphis had one more chance after Anthony's basket, but an alley-oop attempt to Darrell Arthur was broken up at the basket, giving the Knicks their third straight win and strengthening their hold on the sixth playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
Amare Stoudemire added 26 points for the Knicks, while Toney Douglas finished with 18 points and a career-high 10 assists.
Allen led Memphis with 22 points, missing only one of his eight shots. Arthur scored 21 points, while Mike Conley and Randolph contributed 20 apiece. Randolph grabbed 11 rebounds.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Kevin Love recorded his 52nd double-double in a row to surpass Moses Malone for the longest such streak since the ABA and NBA merged in 1976 in Minnesota's victory over free-falling Indiana.
Love overcame a bruised left knee to put up 16 points and 21 rebounds in just 27 minutes to help the Timberwolves win for just the 16th time this season. Love didn't waste any time extending the streak, reaching double figures in points and rebounds with just under seven minutes to play in the first half.
Tyler Hansbrough scored 21 points for the Pacers, who shot a season-low 29 percent to lose their fifth straight game. Forward Danny Granger managed just 10 points on 2-for-19 shooting.

Jrue Holiday and Lou Williams each scored 22 points for the Sixers. Elton Brand had 13 points and 15 rebounds.
Durant, the NBA's leading scorer, was 13 of 26 from the field and all 16 boards were defensive ones.
Bulls 101, Bobcats 84
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Derrick Rose and Kyle Korver scored 20 points apiece and Chicago pulled away in the fourth quarter to beat Charlotte, a victory dimmed by Carlos Boozer's leg injury.
Korver had 12 points in the final period and Joakim Noah added 12 points and 13 rebounds for the Bulls, who won for the 11th time in 13 games and expanded their hold on second place in the Eastern Conference to 2 1/2 games over slumping Miami.
Boozer limped off late in the game after his left leg bent awkwardly on a flagrant foul by Kwame Brown and didn't return.
Gerald Henderson had 20 points and eight assists for the Bobcats, who played again without Stephen Jackson and Tyrus Thomas in their sixth straight loss.

Tyson Chandler, who had 16 points and 13 rebounds in his return from a sprained right ankle, missed two free throws with 17 seconds to go, then Jason Kidd fouled Jack on a 3-point attempt, setting up Jack's decisive free throws with 8.4 seconds left.
Dallas still had one more chance to win it, but for the second time in New Orleans this season, Nowitzki was unable to convert.

Orlando was coming off an ugly loss to Portland that Howard missed because he picked up his 16th technical foul this season, forcing an automatic suspension.
