David Lee had 28 points and 10 rebounds, and the New York Knicks rebounded from a lopsided beating by administering one, routing the Minnesota Timberwolves 132-105 on Tuesday night.
Al Harrington scored 26 and Wilson Chandler had 20 despite a strained left groin for the Knicks, who were dealt the worst home loss in franchise history when Dallas beat them 128-78 on Sunday. New York was on the other end this time, scoring the first 15 points and leading by as many as 36.
New York had its highest point total of the season and ended a two-game losing streak, becoming the third team in NBA history to win by 20 or more the game after losing by 50.
