Stoudemire led all scorers with 34 and Carmelo Anthony chipped in 26, but the Knicks fell flat with only six points off the bench.
Also picking up an away win were the Memphis Grizzlies, who went into Atlanta and routed the Hawks 96-77. O.J. Mayo came off the bench to hit 7-of-13 for 18 points to help spark the Grizzlies who also received 21 from Rudy Gay.
The San Antonio Spurs picked up their second win in two nights with a 93-81 defeat of the visiting New Orleans Hornets at the AT & T Center. Tim Duncan's game-high 19 points helped move the Spurs to an NBA best 12-1 at home.
There were also wins for Sacramento, Golden State and Denver. The Nuggets went into LA and knocked off the Clippers 112-91 while the Warriors blew out the Utah Jazz and the Kings edged the Portland Trailblazers.
