Knicks 138, Warriors 125
NEW YORK — Chris Duhon had a franchise-record 22 assists, David Lee had career highs of 37 points and 21 rebounds, and New York rang up a record-setting 82 points in the first half. Duhon set Lee up for numerous dunks against the defenseless Warriors, who completed a winless five-game Eastern trip and looked as if they couldn’t wait to get home. One of the slams, with 3:09 remaining, allowed Duhon to break Richie Guerin’s franchise record of 21 assists set on Dec. 12, 1958. Al Harrington, acquired from Golden State last week, added 36 points and 12 rebounds for the Knicks, who used only seven players. Jamal Crawford, sent to Golden State for Harrington, had 21 points and 10 rebounds. Corey Maggette led the Warriors with 32 points and 12 rebounds.
