Toney Douglas is making a strong case to remain in the starting lineup.

Douglas, a rookie guard from Florida State, had a solid all-around effort for the second consecutive game, and the New York Knicks won both of them.

Danilo Gallinari scored 21 points, Douglas added 20 and the Knicks won their second in a row on the road by rallying past the struggling Philadelphia 76ers, 94-84, Monday at Wachovia Center in Philadelphia.

Al Harrington contributed 15, Tracy McGrady scored 14 and Wilson Chandler had 12 points and 11 rebounds for the Knicks (24-43), who snapped the Dallas Mavericks' 13-game win streak Saturday with a convincing 128-94 victory. Douglas had 21 points and eight assists against the Mavericks. This time against Philadelphia, he finished with seven assists and scored nine points in the fourth quarter.

"The coaches have a lot of confidence in me," Douglas said. "I have confidence in myself. I feel comfortable."

Douglas shot 7 for 13 and hit all four of his free throws in nearly 37 minutes.

David Lee grabbed 16 rebounds as the Knicks improved to 2-2 on this five-game road trip. Jrue Holiday scored 18 points, Willie Green added 17 and Andre Iguodala had 14 points and a career-high 17 rebounds for the 76ers (23-44).

• Jazz 112, Wizards 89: Carlos Boozer scored 23 points, Deron Williams notched his 35th double-double (17 points, 11 assists) of the season, as host Utah Jazz ended a two-game losing streak.

• Rockets 125, Nuggets 123: Aaron Brooks swished a jumper with 2.9 seconds left and scored 31 points to help host Houston past Denver, snapping the Nuggets' 6-game win streak.

• Celtics 119, Pistons 93: Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Michael Finley scored 15 points apiece, and Kevin Garnett had 14 points and 8 rebounds to help host Boston coast past Detroit.

• Hornets 108, Clippers 100: David West scored 24 points and New Orleans snapped a seven-game road losing streak with a victory against Los Angeles.

• Lakers 124, Warriors 121: Kobe Bryant had 29 points and Pau Gasol 26 as Los Angeles held off host Golden State.

• Heat forward Dorell Wright apologized to the franchise and fans "for any distraction" that his arrest on a driving under the influence charge last week may have caused. Wright was back with the Heat Monday for the first time since being arrested last week. He was suspended for Miami's games Friday and Sunday and wasn't allowed to even practice with the team.
