NBA: Robinson scores 30, helps Knicks top Pistons in OT

Associated Press

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Reserve Nate Robinson scored 30 points to help the New York Knicks rally for a 116-111 overtime victory over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night.

Antonio McDyess had 21 points and a career-high 22 rebounds — Detroit's first 20-20 game in over 11 years — but it wasn't enough to overcome the absence of Rasheed Wallace (calf) and Allen Iverson (back).

David Lee had 16 points and 18 rebounds for the Knicks, who trailed by 10 points after three quarters before finishing strong for their second victory in two nights during a crucial road trip for their playoff hopes.
