Harrington's 31 Can't Save Knicks From Raptors Claws

Bargnani leads Raptors over Knicks 111-100

Andrea Bargnani had 28 points and 10 rebounds Sunday to help the Toronto Raptors beat New York 111-100 two days after absorbing a 30-point loss against the Knicks.
    
Each of the Toronto starters reached double figures and four of the five had double-doubles. Anthony Parker scored 24 points, Shawn Marion had 16 points and 15 rebounds and Chris Bosh added 11 points and 12 boards. Jose Calderon had 13 points and 11 assists.
    
Al Harrington scored 31 points and David Lee had 17 points and 15 rebounds for the Knicks, who have lost nine straight games in Toronto and 11 of 12 overall against the Raptors. Chris Duhon also had 17 points.
    
Nate Robinson scored 12 in the fourth quarter and finished with 18. His lay-up with 3 seconds left gave New York 100 points for the 16th straight game.
    
The Knicks beat Toronto 127-97 at Madison Square Garden on Friday night behind a career-high 32 points from Wilson Chandler, who was ineffective in the second half of the home-and-home. He went 1-for-6 from the field and scored two points in 21 minutes.
    
Toronto led 82-74 after three quarters and pushed its lead to 92-82 when Bosh completed a three-point play with 8:21 remaining.
    
A three-point play by Harrington and a layup from Robinson made it 104-98 with 2:31 left, but Bargnani answered with a 3-pointer.
    
Larry Hughes and Chris Wilcox, acquired in separate deadline-day trades last week, made their Knicks debuts and each scored three points. Hughes struggled with his shooting, going 1-for-9.
    
The teams were tied at 27 after the first and Toronto began the second with a 12-0 run, including back-to-back 3-pointers from Roko Ukic and Jason Kapono. New York recovered, and Harrington's 3-pointer with 5:02 left in the half tied it at 46. Toronto led 57-53 at the half.
