NEW YORK, Feb. 16 (UPI) -- Amare Stoudemire and Wilson Chandler combined for 43 points Wednesday and led the New York Knicks to an unexpectedly easy 102-90 decision over Atlanta.
The Knicks won their second in a row and celebrated the return of Stoudemire after he had missed Saturday's victory at New Jersey because of a sore right big toe.

New York went on a 15-3 run in the first period, eventually led by seven at halftime and built as much as a 16-point cushion in the third.
