Los Angeles  - Mighty mite Nate Robinson stole the show in the Knick of time.

Robinson exploded for a season-high 41 points, including a steal and the tie-breaking layup with 26 seconds left, carrying the New York Knicks to a 123-119 over the short-handed Indiana Pacers on Monday night.

The reigning Slam Dunk Champion hit 11-of-18 shots, including four three-pointers, and converted 15-of-19 free throws, matching the Knicks' record for most points off the bench, set by Bob McAdoo against Atlanta on December 17, 1978.

Los Angeles  - Nate Robinson had the kryptonite to conquer Dwight Howard's Superman.

Dressed in green and using Howard as a hurdle, Robinson reclaimed the Slam Dunk Contest title Saturday night, edging the defending champion in fan balloting to cap All-Star Saturday Night at Phoenix.

An otherwise lackluster night had a terrific finish, with Howard reprising his "Superman" dunking persona and Robinson overcoming him - figuratively and literally.
