[AP] | Golden State guard Baron Davis returned to the starting lineup after
missing Friday's loss to Utah with a strained hamstring. He had 16 points and
nine assists. Troy Murphy added 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Warriors
(2-1).
Stephon Marbury led New York (0-3) with 15 points and six assists. Channing
Frye added 12 points and Eddy Curry and Trevor Ariza each had 11.
With Golden State trailing 74-73 with 5:46 left in the game, Richardson hit a
3-pointer as the shot clock expired to give the Warriors the lead for good.
Davis added a layup to give Golden State a 78-74 lead. He and Richardson
combined to hit five of eight free throws down the stretch to seal the victory.
Quentin Richardson was scoreless for New York until the final minute, when he
hit a layup and jumper at the buzzer.
Desperate for a win, Brown tinkered with the New York lineup, playing rookies
David Lee, Frye and Nate Robinson together and it seemed to work, sparking the
Knicks as they rallied from an 11-point deficit. Lee had eight points and 10
rebounds and was constantly hustling to keep balls alive.
Davis was only 5-for-17 from the field, but helped Golden
State build a 46-39 halftime lead by hitting three 3-pointers.
