Andrea Bargnani had 28 points and 10 rebounds while Anthony Parker added 24 points as the Toronto Raptors beat the New York Knicks 111-100 on Sunday to avenge an embarrassing road loss.

On Friday night, the Knicks beat Toronto 127-97 at Madison Square Garden.

The Raptors (22-36) used a well-balanced attack en route to its first victory in three games since the all-star break. Small forward Shawn Marion scored 16 points and 15 rebounds and all five starters finished in double figures.

Chris Bosh, playing in just his second game since returning from a sprained right knee, added 11 points and 12 rebounds in 34 minutes. Jose Calderon finished with 13 points and 11 assists.

Parker, who failed to score in Friday night's loss, hit his first six shots of the game and fell just three points shy of matching his career high of 27.

"We talked (Saturday) about the NBA, the good thing about it is that you have another game," Triano said just prior to the game. "The real good thing about this one is that it's against the same team that embarrassed you.

"That was our focus (Saturday) in practice."

Despite the high-scoring affair the Raptors also made some adjustments at the defensive end of the floor. After allowing Wilson Chandler to score a career-high 32 points on Friday, Toronto held the athletic wingman to just two points on 1-of-6 shooting.

Forward Al Harrington did his part to pick up the slack by leading the led the way for the Knicks (23-32) with 31 points and seven rebounds. Dunk champion Nate Robinson added 18 points and eight assists off the bench.

Larry Hughes and Chris Wilcox made their debut with the Knicks after being acquired in separate deals just prior to Thursday's trade deadline. The pair was a non-factor in its first game under coach Mike D'Antoni's high tempo offence, combining to score eight points off the bench.

NOTES: Raptors point guard Marcus Banks was a late scratch due to spasms in his lower back... The Raptors celebrated the 10-year anniversary of the Air Canada Centre... Toronto hosted its first basketball game at the ACC on Feb. 21 with a 102-87 victory over the Vancouver Grizzlies... The Raptors have won nine consecutive home games against the Knicks and 11 of their past 12.
