    Carmelo Anthony's three straight 3-pointers in a 15-0 third-quarter run were just what the Knicks thought they needed to break away from the Detroit Pistons.

    "Coming out of halftime, we said we just need one run to just separate ourselves," Anthony said.

    But to win it, they needed Anthony to grab one big rebound against a bigger front line, then hit a couple of finishing free throws.

    Anthony scored 13 of his 34 points in the third, then put it away with two free throws with 2.9 seconds left as the Knicks handed the Pistons a season-high fifth straight loss with an 89-85 victory on Tuesday night.
