Brooklyn Nets' small forward Andrei Kirilenko (No. 47) battles with Toronto Raptors' power forward Chuck Hayes (No. 44) during the 4th quarter in a game at the Air Canada Centre Saturday. — Reuters PHILADELPHIA – Amare Stoudemire scored 21 points and Carmelo Anthony added 18 points, nine rebounds and seven assists Saturday to spark New York over Philadelphia 102-92 for the Knicks' fourth straight win. The Knicks improved to 14-22 while the 76ers slid to 12-25 with their fourth loss in a row. New York guard J.R. Smith came off the bench to score 14 points and pass out six assists in his return to the lineup. Smith was fined $50,000 Wednesday by the NBA for a second incident of trying to untie the shoelaces of a rival player while awaiting a rebound on a free throw attempt. That prompted Knicks coach Mike Woodson to bench a healthy Smith for the entire game in the Knicks' 102-92 victory Thursday over the defending NBA champion Miami Heat. Spencer Hawes and James Anderson each had 17 points to lead the 76ers, while Thaddeus Young added 15 points. Rockets 114, Wizards 107: Houston guard James Harden scored eight straight points in the final minutes as the Rockets held off a furious Washington Wizards comeback to secure a win. The Wizards trailed by 25 points early in the third quarter and were down 94-79 after three quarters. Harden finished with 25 points and center Dwight Howard had 23, while John Wall paced the Wizards with 23 points and 10 assists. Raptors 96, Nets 80: DeMar DeRozan scored 26 points and grabbed seven rebounds and the Toronto Raptors snapped the Brooklyn Nets' five-game winning streak with a 96-80 victory. Terrence Ross added 14 points and Patrick Patterson also had 14 points while grabbing 12 rebounds after coming off the bench for the Raptors (18-17). Paul Pierce led the Nets (15-22) with 15 points while Alan Anderson had 13 and Joe Johnson 11 respectively. Pistons 110, Suns 108: Josh Smith had 25 points, including the winning layup with 1.2 seconds left, as the Detroit Pistons held off the Phoenix Suns 110-108. Greg Monroe supplied 20 points and 11 rebounds for the Pistons, who gave away an 18-point lead in the second half but still snapped a five-game home losing streak. Brandon Jennings tied Isiah Thomas's franchise record with 16 assists in the first half. Thomas had a 16-assist half against Dallas on Feb. 13, 1985. Jennings finished with 18 assists, one shy of his career high. Bulls 103, Bobcats 97: D.J. Augustin piled up 20 points and 12 assists against his former team as the Chicago Bulls pulled away in the fourth quarter for a 103-97 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats.
