OAKLAND, Calif. — Stephen Jackson had 35 points, 10 assists and six rebounds, and Jamal Crawford added 21 points against his former New York teammates in the Golden State Warriors’ third straight home victory, 144-127 over the defenseless Knicks on Tuesday night.

Kelenna Azubuike had 22 points and 10 rebounds as the Warriors obliterated their previous season-high for points with almost no defensive opposition from the Knicks, who lost their fifth straight — and lost three players to injuries as well.

Al Harrington had 24 points and nine rebounds amid constant boos from the Oakland fans who embraced him just two years ago. Harrington, who invited the boos with repeated waves of his hand, was traded to the Knicks on Nov. 21 for Crawford.
