MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP)\u2014Carmelo Anthony<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> made a 16-footer with less than a
\nsecond left as the New York Knicks<\/a> withstood a late Memphis rally and beat the
\nGrizzlies 110-108 on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

The winning shot by Anthony, who finished with 31 points, came over Tony
\nAllen<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> after Zach Randolph\u2019s<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> three-point play with 14 seconds remaining pulled
\nMemphis even at 108.<\/p>\n

Memphis had one more chance after Anthony\u2019s basket, but an alley-oop attempt
\nto Darrell Arthur<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> was broken up at the basket, giving the Knicks their third
\nstraight win and strengthening their hold on the sixth playoff spot in the
\nEastern Conference.<\/p>\n

Amare Stoudemire<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> added 26 points for the Knicks, while Toney Douglas<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span>
\nfinished with 18 points and a career-high 10 assists.<\/p>\n

Allen led Memphis with 22 points, missing only one of his eight shots.
\nArthur scored 21 points, while Mike Conley<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> and Randolph contributed 20 apiece.
\nRandolph grabbed 11 rebounds.<\/p>\n

The Knicks won despite 17 turnovers and Memphis\u2019 33-4 advantage at the free
\nthrow line.<\/p>\n

Memphis\u2019 final rally came on 10 unanswered points before Anthony\u2019s jumper
\nfrom the wing.<\/p>\n

New York led by as many as 17 in the third quarter while shooting nearly 60
\npercent, but its 6-of-20 shooting and careless ballhandling in the fourth period
\nallowed Memphis to catch up.<\/p>\n

The track meet was on early with New York making 10 of its first 11,
\nincluding all four from outside the arc.<\/p>\n

The Grizzlies stayed in it with its defense that leads the league in forced
\nturnovers and steals. Memphis caused 10 Knicks miscues in the first half, nine
\nof them on steals.<\/p>\n

Despite that and a 14-1 advantage at the free throw line, the Grizzlies
\nstill trailed 61-53 at the break as Anthony had 20 points and Stoudemire 16.<\/p>\n

New York took control at the opening of the second half. The Knicks were
\nperfect on their first four shots and pushed the lead to 74-57 before carrying a
\n96-82 advantage to the fourth.<\/p>\n

Arthur opened the final frame with eight straight points, cutting the
\nKnicks\u2019 lead to 96-90. But a 3-pointer by Shawne Williams<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> stopped the Memphis
\nrally, and Anthony\u2019s inside bucket built the advantage back to double digits.<\/p>\n

NOTES: The Knicks are 6-3 since the trade that brought Anthony and Chauncey
\nBillups<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> to New York. Billups missed his fifth straight game with a left quad
\ninjury. \u201cI think he\u2019s feeling a lot better. He\u2019s not quite ready yet,\u201d Knicks
\ncoach Mike D\u2019Antoni said in his pregame availability. \u201cJust a little bit of
\npain. We just want to be very cautious.\u201d As for whether he would be ready for
\nThursday\u2019s game at Dallas, D\u2019Antoni replied: \u201cYou don\u2019t even know when it\u2019s
\ngoing to be. When he\u2019s ready, he\u2019s ready.\u201d The Knicks did have Ronny Turiaf<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> and
\nBill Walker<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> available after missing several games each with injuries. Memphis G
\nJason Williams<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> sat out with lower back stiffness. The Grizzlies said F Rudy Gay<\/a>(notes)<\/a>,<\/span>
\nwho has missed nine straight games with a shoulder injury, will have an MRI on
\nMonday to see about the healing progress.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
