Marc Berman reports that the final episode before the decision to bench Nate Robinson came when the guard was laughing with Dwight Howard before the Knicks' game against the Magic last Wednesday.

"I know there's a lot of little things that build up," Mike D'Antoni said. "I don't know if there was a last straw. But I do know a lot of focus is on Toney Douglas and it has a lot to do with him."

Robinson did not play for the fourth straight game in the Knicks' win over the Blazers on Monday night, the team's third consecutive victory.
