The Knicks avenged a 114-91 loss at Toronto on Wednesday, their worst defeat since being routed by 34 points in their home opener against Boston three weeks ago. They have won five straight home games since.

Three days after being held to just seven points on 3-of-14 shooting, Crawford bounced back. He made 11-of-22 shots, including 3-of-7 from the arc, and credited his teammates for having a hand in his most productive game as a Knick.

"My teammates put me in great positions," Crawford said. "Kurt (Thomas) and those guys have been setting great screens and Stephon has been finding me just like he's been finding everyone else. They all made it easy for me."

"Jamal is just a terrific young man," Knicks coach Lenny Wilkens said. "He accepts constructive criticism extremely well. He just wants to be better."

New York (6-6) led through most of this contest. Marbury scored 18 points, including a jumper that made it 103-91 with 1:59 remaining.

The Raptors responded with consecutive 3-pointers by Morris Peterson and Vince Carter. A layup by Jalen Rose capped an 11-0 run and pulled Toronto within 103-102 with 24 seconds left.

"I think we were maybe stalling too much," Crawford said. "We knew the clock was in our favor."

But Crawford followed with a pair of free throws, and Carter missed a driving layup with 15 seconds remaining as the Raptors lost their eighth straight visit to Madison Square Garden and fifth consecutive road contest overall.

"What can you say? It just didn't go in," said Carter, who played just five minutes in the fourth quarter and scored 19 points. "It didn't fall."

"(The) bottom line is we didn't find a way to play together in all four quarters," Rose added.

Nazr Mohammed scored 19 points and Tim Thomas added a season-high 17 for New York, which shot 51 percent (45-of-88).

Mohammed continued his recent surge as he also collected 10 rebounds en route to his third straight double-double and fourth in six games. Thomas, who came in shooting just 31 percent this season, had 13 in the first half as the Knicks withstood a late 16-3 run by the Raptors and took a 50-43 lead into the locker room.

"I'd say Tim is starting to make real good progress," Wilkens said. "I want him to continue. Tonight was the best all-around game he's played in quite a while. I was very pleased about it."

Peterson scored a season-high 18 points, making four 3-pointers.
