New Orleans Hornets was defeated by New York Knickerbockers in the second quarter Friday night. During a span of less than seven minutes in the second quarter Friday night, Stoudemire did precisely that by scoring 16 of his 34 points while almost single-handedly erasing an eight-point deficit. After that, the Knicks eventually built a lead as large as 14 before taking their eighth win in nine games, 100-92. “I try to be a dominant force,” said Stoudemire, who also grabbed 10 rebounds. “With the energy I try to bring forth on the basketball court, with my communication skills and my leadership role, I try to provide some confidence and swagger to us as a team and it seems to be working well.” Trevor Ariza had a season-high 21 points for New Orleans, which was without David West because of a stomach virus. Chris Paul had 17 points and 10 assists. The Hornets (13-6) have dropped five of seven and are quickly fading back into the pack after a surprisingly strong start. First-year coach Monty Williams said his team has been getting increasingly sloppy, pointing to 19 turnovers that led to 29 Knicks points. “We have to understand the value of the ball,” Williams said. “It doesn’t make sense for a team with the ballhandlers we have to turn the ball over like that against a team that doesn’t really pressure the ball. There’s no excuse.” New York led 74-73 late in the third when Shawne Williams’ driving scoop off the glass and Raymond Felton’s floater as he was fouled ignited a 10-0 run that gave the Knicks (11-9) their first double-digit lead of the game. Wilson Chandler’s second 3 of the fourth quarter made it 92-78 with 6:02 to go and New Orleans was unable to recover. New York went 13 for 30 from 3-point range. Chandler, who scored 14, made four 3s, while Danilo Gallinari and Williams made three each. The Hornets simply couldn’t keep up with that, going 3 of 14 from deep. “We knew this was going to be a game where we could measure ourselves and see how good we could be,” Stoudemire said. “It was a big win for us, definitely a great step in the right direction. We’re really showing how good we can be.” Jason Smith made his fourth career start in place of West, who leads the Hornets in scoring with 18.8 points per game. Smith had 12 points, while Emeka Okafor had 11 points and 14 rebounds for New Orleans. Felton finished with 17 points and 13 assists for New York, hitting a pair of 3s. Gallinari and Williams each scored 13. The Hornets scored the first eight points of the game and led most of the first half, going up 28-21 when Willie Green’s basket early in the second quarter capped another 8-0 run. The Hornets were up 36-28 when Stoudemire started to take over. Mixing in a couple jumpers with an array of strong inside moves, Stoudemire scored 16 of New York’s next 19 points, tying it at 49 on a dunk. Gallinari then hit consecutive 3s to help the Knicks take a 55-53 halftime lead. New York was connecting from everywhere, and wound up shooting 47 percent (39 of 83) for the game. Paul said there wasn’t much the Hornets could do about that. “We try to keep teams out of our paint and they knocked down 3s all night long,” Paul said. “We gave up a little bit of everything. Sometimes it’s one or the other, tonight we gave up both.” This marked this first time this season in 19 games that the Hornets did not have the same starting five. … New York has won five straight meetings spanning the past two-plus seasons. The Hornets’ last win over the Knicks came in April 2008, before Mike D’Antoni became New York’s coach. … The teams will meet once more this season in New York on March 2. … Announced attendance was 14,020, and the Hornets are averaging 13,865 through 10 home games despite a strong start.

San Antonio Spurs made a magnificent win over Minnesota Timberwolves. Tim Duncan scored 22 points and had 10 rebounds to help the San Antonio Spurs rally from a 15-point deficit to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 107-101 Friday night. “It was a great fourth quarter, and our guys really hustled,” said Duncan, who scored 10 of San Antonio’s final 14 points in the first half. “We made plays and found a way to get it done. Obviously that’s not the situation we want to be in on a nightly basis but given that situation, it’s the best outcome possible.” Tony Parker and George Hill added 20 points apiece for the Spurs, who improved their NBA-best record to 16-3. Manu Ginobili had 16 and Richard Jefferson scored 15. Michael Beasley scored 28 points and Kevin Love had 25 points and 18 rebounds for Minnesota. Ginobili sank two free throws to give San Antonio the lead for good with 1:13 remaining. He made all 13 of his foul shots. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich was ejected with 1:10 left in third quarter for arguing with referee Marc Davis. San Antonio held Minnesota without a field goal in the final 4:13. “That’s what good teams do,” Minnesota coach Kurt Rambis said. “Good teams have the confidence that they’re going to come back and win. They know how to dig themselves out of holes. Young teams, unfortunately, can’t figure out how to hold big leads.” Beasley made two free throws to give Minnesota a 99-95 lead, but a turnover by the Timberwolves eventually sent Hill to the line to tie it with 2:56 left in the game. Both teams were scoreless for over the next minute and a half until Ginobili went to the free throw line. “We are proud of the way we did, but are definitely not proud of the way we played for three quarters,” Ginobili said. “We’ve been doing that too much. I guess luck has been on our side lately, but we’ve got to start playing for 48.” In the third quarter, Jefferson made a 3-pointer with 2:01 to play in the third that cut Minnesota’s lead to four, but the Timberwolves answered with an 11-0 run. “Aggressiveness. We were very aggressive,” Ginobili said. “We attacked the ball. We started blitzing to try to force them to make mistakes and they did. We didn’t make five 3s to make this comeback. It was with defense.” Luke Ridnour and Corey Brewer both finished with 14 points each for Minnesota. Darko Milicic fouled out with 3:15 left, exiting the game with four points, six rebounds and four assists. The Spurs will play 11 of their remaining 14 games in 2010 at home. … Minnesota hasn’t defeated the Spurs on their homecourt since 2004 … The Timberwolves are 1-10 on the road this season.
