Suddenly hot Knicks hold on to win again

NEW YORK -- Wilson Chandler scored 26 points, Danilo Gallinari added 21 and a huge blocked shot in the closing seconds, and the New York Knicks held on for a 98-94 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Sunday night.

David Lee finished with 15 points and 15 rebounds for the Knicks, who won for the sixth time in eight games. They would have had another victory in that stretch, but they were outscored 15-2 over the last 2:33 of a 94-87 loss at Charlotte on Tuesday night.

Chandler and Gallinari wouldn't let the Knicks blow this one, both hitting big 3-pointers in the final quarter. But Gallinari's biggest play came on the other end, when he blocked Acie Law's layup with about 3 seconds left and New York up by two.

Raymond Felton had 27 points, nine rebounds and seven assists for the Bobcats.
