AUBURN HILLS, Mich., March 11 (UPI) -- Larry Hughes had five points in overtime and Nate Robinson hit four free throws in the last 14 seconds Wednesday to bring New York a 116-111 win over Detroit.

Hughes made three free throws with 10 seconds left in regulation to force the extra session and the Knicks went on to win their second straight.
