In Battle Of Double Triple-Doubles, Warriors Get The Better Of Wizards

In a rare instance of double triple-doubles, Baron Davis and the Warriors got the better of Caron Butler and the Wizards.

Davis had 33 points, 15 assists and 11 rebounds, Stephen Jackson scored 28 points, and Golden State beat Washington 123-115 on Friday night, ending the Wizards' six-game winning streak.

Butler, coming off a career-high 39-point effort Wednesday, did his best to keep Washington unbeaten without sidelined Gilbert Arenas, but it wasn't quite enough. Butler finished with 26 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, while Antawn Jamison had 30 points and 12 rebounds.

Davis and Butler are the first pair of opponents with triple-doubles in the same game in more than 4 1/2 years. Orlando's Tracy McGrady and New Jersey's Jason Kidd did it on Feb. 23, 2003.

Mullin A Top Candidate For Knicks' GM Job?

Golden State GM Chris Mullin is expected to emerge as a top candidate for the Knicks' GM job if Isiah Thomas eventually is fired from his dual role as coach and president, The Post has learned.

Mullin was at sold-out Madison Square Garden on Tuesday and heard all the "Fire Isiah" chants as his Warriors belted the Knicks by 26 points.

The former St. John's sharp-shooting superstar out of Brooklyn told a confidant Wednesday that an employee from the organization, during an informal chat, secretly asked Mullin if he'd be interested in coming to the Knicks if the GM spot is open next summer.

Owner James Dolan is not ready to make a move yet, and Thomas will coach the team tomorrow against the Bulls, though he appears on thin ice.

Mullin, 43, is in his fourth season as Golden State's executive VP of basketball operations and has built a young, athletic team that posted one of the biggest playoff upsets in NBA history when it shocked the Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs last spring.
