New York (AFP) - New York forward Kevin Seraphin paid tribute to his French homeland with an inspired performance, helping the Knicks to a 95-87 NBA win over New Orleans just two days after Friday's attacks in Paris.

The 26-year-old Seraphin scored 12 points on Sunday while sporting a "Paris" haircut with the image of the Eiffel Tower and a peace sign shaved on his scalp.

Seraphin, who was born in Cayenne, French Guiana, made the most of his 13 minutes on the floor in front of a crowd of 19,800 at Madison Square Garden.
