NEW YORK — Nate Robinson followed his slam dunk title by showing off his entire game Tuesday night, scoring 32 points and grabbing 10 rebounds to lead the Knicks to a 112-107 overtime victory over the Spurs.
Robinson made the go-ahead basket in his third consecutive 30-point game.
Chris Duhon and Wilson Chandler each scored 17 points for the Knicks, who finally broke through against an NBA power, having dropped all three on a homestand against the Lakers, Cavaliers and Celtics in the first week of February.
“The past four teams we played at home have been the best of the best, and to get this victory, start off the second half of the season is big for us and hopefully can help us gain some momentum,” Knicks forward David Lee said.
Lee had 13 points and 12 rebounds in his 17th consecutive double-double, tying Patrick Ewing for the second-longest streak by a Knicks player since 1970. Jerry Lucas had 21 straight in 1972.
Tim Duncan had 26 points and 15 rebounds for the Spurs, but fellow all-star Tony Parker shot just 5-for-20 and finished with 14.
“I was missing layups. I was missing everything tonight,” Parker said. “(Nate) was making shots. He was the opposite of me.”
The Spurs had a chance to win it, but Duncan missed a bank shot just before time expired.
“I got some shots to go down and started feeling good about it,” Duncan said. “I wish the last one would’ve gone, too, but such is life.”
