Rookies Landry Fields and Andy Rautins, selected back-to-back in the second round last June at Nos. 38 and 39, have become very tight, hanging together like glue during the Milan-Paris trip.

That set up Toney Douglas to win it with two free throws after he got fouled off a pretty backdoor pass from Ronny Turiaf, as the Knicks downed the Wizards 92-90 at the Garden.
