NEW YORK - Glen Rice scored 21 points and Latrell Sprewell and Allan Houston added 19 apiece Monday night as the New York Knicks had their highest-scoring game and largest margin of victory this season in a 106-78 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Knicks shot 56 percent, led by 19 at halftime and turned it into a rout early in the third. Los Angeles coach Alvin Gentry didn't even last that long, getting ejected for two technical fouls late in the second quarter.
Kurt Thomas shot 7-for-8 from the field and added 14 points, and Chris Childs had a season-high 11 assists as the Knicks avenged a four-point loss to the Clippers three weeks ago.
Rice has led the Knicks in scoring all three times they have won by at least 25 points.
