(Reuters) - Golden State guard Stephen Curry scored a NBA season-high 54 points but it wasn't enough as the New York Knicks prevailed 109-105 against the Warriors at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday.

Curry's career-best mark saw him land 18 of 28 shots from the field, 11 of 13 from the three-point arc and all seven free throw attempts.

Curry also added six rebounds and seven assists on a hot night but the Warriors dropped to 33-25 as Carmelo Anthony notched up 35 points to move the Knicks to 34-20.

The Warriors were without the suspended David Lee leaving Carl Landry as the next best scorer with just 15 points.
