NEW YORK — Chris Duhon made the tiebreaking 3-pointer with 2:03 remaining, Danilo Gallinari followed with two more, and the Knicks pulled out a 97-93 victory over the Bobcats on Thursday night.
Wilson Chandler scored a season-high 27 points to lead the Knicks, who hit six 3-pointers in the fourth 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 2-pointer, instead of a 3 that would have tied it with 1:43 to go.
Jackson’s jumper cut it to one, then Gallinari — the NBA leader in 3-pointers made — hit back-to-back, the second from 28 feet, for a 93-86 lead with 44 seconds to play.
David Lee had 22 points, and Gallinari finished with 17 for the Knicks, who have won three straight and 11 of 16.
