New York ? The New York Knicks received strong performances from all five starters. The Toronto Raptors certainly did not.

On a day of season-highs for several New York players, Jamal Crawford scored 30 points, Stephon Marbury had 15 assists, and Tim Thomas scored 17 in a 108-102 victory Saturday over Toronto.

The totals for Crawford, Marbury and Thomas were all personal bests for the young season, and starters Nazr Mohammed and Kurt Thomas reached double figures in both points and rebounds as the Knicks avenged a 23-point loss to the Raptors three days earlier.

“This is definitely a sweet win. That’s the great thing about the NBA, we get to play them three days later. We were kind of licking our chops a bit,” Crawford said.

The Knicks were comfortably ahead throughout the second half until Morris Peterson and Vince Carter hit three-pointers and Peterson was fouled on a three-point attempt, making all three foul shots to close Toronto to 103-100 with 54 seconds left.

Nuggets 82, Rockets 76

Houston — Andre Miller scored 20 points, and Kenyon Martin had 19 as Denver beat Houston for its first road win. The Nuggets had a scare in the third quarter when Carmelo Anthony sprained his right ankle. He hit the floor hard on a foul by Bob Sura with 2:21 left in the period and stayed down for several minutes before being helped off the floor. X-rays were negative, and Anthony is day-to-day.

Spurs 109, Jazz 76

San Antonio — Malik Rose scored a season-high 16 points, and San Antonio made nine of its first 10 shots.

Magic 105, Sixers 99

Orlando, Fla. — Grant Hill scored 29 points, and Steve Francis added 26, leading Orlando to its fourth win in five games. Francis had 15 in the fourth quarter, with six in the final 48 seconds. His jumper with 48 seconds left put the Magic up, 101-97.

Bucks 96, Pistons 90

Milwaukee — Michael Redd scored 20 of his 29 points in the second half, Keith Van Horn added 20 points, and Milwaukee ended a six-game losing streak.

Tayshuan Prince and Rasheed Wallace each scored 20 points to lead the Pistons.

Cavaliers 96, Bulls 74

Cleveland — LeBron James scored 26 points to become the youngest player in NBA history to reach 2,000 in a career, leading Cleveland over Chicago. At 19 years, 272 days old, James is 277 days younger than Kobe Bryant was when he set the mark Feb. 23, 1999.
