Raymond Felton hit the game-winning 3-pointer with 2.7 seconds left and Amar’e Stoudemire scored 18 of his team-high 34 points in the fourth quarter as the New York Knicks won their sixth straight game, a 113-110 victory over the visiting Toronto Raptors on Wednesday.
Felton had 28 points and 11 assists. His game-winner bounced on the rim several times and off the backboard before falling through the net.
Stoudemire scored 30 or more points for the sixth straight contest as New York (14-9) won for the 11th time in 12 games. Stoudemire also had 14 rebounds.
Andrea Bargnani scored a career-best 41 points with seven rebounds and six assists for Toronto (8-14). He hit 16-of-24 shots but missed a desperation 35-footer that could have forced overtime.
Danilo Gallinari added 20 points and nine rebounds for New York. DeMar DeRozan scored 19 points for Toronto.
Bargnani tied the game with a 3-pointer with 28 seconds left prior to Felton’s game-winning shot.
Stoudemire can match the franchise record of seven consecutive 30-point games set by Willie Naulls in 1962 when New York plays Washington on Friday.
