NEW YORK — Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni glanced at the best stat line of David Lee's career and somehow managed to sound disappointed.

"He should've had 50," D'Antoni said. "He should've had 50 and 28."

Against these Golden State Warriors, why not?

Chris Duhon had a franchise-record 22 assists, Lee had career highs of 37 points and 21 rebounds, and New York rang up a record-setting 82 points in the first half in a 138-125 victory over Golden State last night.

"Chris Duhon did a great job of finding me on the pick-and-roll," Lee said. "And he found me about 18 or 20 times."

Lee's slam with 3:11 remaining allowed Duhon to break Richie Guerin's franchise record of 21 assists set Dec. 12, 1958.

"That's what a point guard's supposed to do, is get their team involved," Duhon said. "If I can do that every night I would love it."

Lee had the first 30-20 game in regulation since Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing had 36 points and 21 rebounds against Philadelphia on Jan. 23, 1994.

The Knicks raced to an 82-64 halftime lead. Lee's basket with 3.4 seconds left let New York shatter the record for most first-half points at the present Madison Square Garden, set when Kansas City scored 81 on Dec. 8, 1979.

Clippers 97, Heat 96: Zach Randolph and Al Thornton each scored 27 points and combined for 21 rebounds, leading host Los Angeles over Miami. The Heat's Dwyane Wade had 26 points and 11 assists, but missed a 3-pointer as time expired.

Magic 110, Pacers 96: Dwight Howard had a season-high 32 points and 21 rebounds and added four blocks, and Rashard Lewis had 24 points for host Orlando. Hedo Turkoglu added 22 points, and Anthony Johnson had a season-high 16.
