NEW YORK -- Troy Murphy hit an 18-foot jumper from the corner with 1:11 left to stop a late Knicks rally as the Golden State Warriors won on the road for the second straight night, defeating New York 113-107 Wednesday.
Murphy had 17 points and 13 rebounds, scoring several times on jump shots from 15 feet and beyond. Gilbert Arenas added 25 points, Jason Richardson had 18 and Antawn Jamison 17 for the Warriors, who shot a season-high 58.9 percent from the field one night after winning in Atlanta.
Allan Houston scored 32 points to lead the Knicks, who played the final 5:12 without Latrell Sprewell. The subject of rampant trade speculation, Sprewell shot just 5-for-18 in what might have been his final game with the Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
Golden State held a comfortable lead for most of the second half, extending an 82-74 lead after three quarters to 90-74 by opening the fourth with an 8-0 run. Bob Sura had the first five points in the run, including a steal from Sprewell for a breakaway dunk.<
