SPORTS NETWORK
New York, NY (Sports Network) - David Lee posted 22 points and 16 rebounds, and the New York Knicks never trailed in a 132-89 drubbing of the Indiana Pacers.
Wilson Chandler added a game-high 23 points for the Knicks, who posted their third-largest margin of victory in a home game in the team's history. Danilo Gallinari contributed 20 points and eight boards, while Al Harrington had 15 in the win.
Luther Head led Indiana with 18 points, but the Pacers trailed by 22 after the first quarter and 32 at halftime in their ninth loss in 10 games. Mike Dunleavy added 12 points, and A.J. Price had 11 in the lopsided defeat.
The Knicks came right out and dominated from start to finish. New York scored the first nine points of the contest, and a Gallinari basket extended the lead to 20-5 early.
The advantage ballooned to 21 on a Harrington layup with one minute left, and the Knicks held a 38-16 lead after one quarter.
New York then finished the first half on a 17-4 run, as a Chandler tip shot in the final seconds made it 74-42 heading to the locker room.
The Knicks poured it on and held a commanding 107-62 lead after the third quarter, and the game was not close in the fourth.
