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.

Robinson scored 30 points, Hughes had 22 and David Lee added 16 points with 18 rebounds.

Detroit was led by Antonio McDyess with 21 points and a career-high 22 rebounds.

Hughes scored back-to-back baskets to put New York in front to stay 90 seconds into overtime. It was the first Knicks lead since the opening half.

New York rallied from a 12-point deficit early in the fourth quarter. The Knicks still trailed by three when Detroit's Richard Hamilton fouled Hughes as he attempted a 3-pointer with 10 seconds to go in regulation. Hughes made all three attempts from the line to tie it at 101-101.
