Memphis, Tenn. ? The New York Knicks haven’t given up on their season, as they proved when they were down 10 points in the fourth quarter Tuesday.

Latrell Sprewell scored 23 points, including 12 in the fourth quarter, and the Knicks outscored the Memphis Grizzlies 26-7 in the final seven minutes for a 101-92 victory Tuesday night.

NEW YORK'S CLARENCE WEATHERSPOON (35) tries to block Memphis' Shane Battier. The Knicks beat the Grizzlies, 101-92, on Tuesday in New York.

Sprewell was not alone in the fourth quarter onslaught. Charlie Ward scored 11 of his 13 points in the fourth, while Allan Houston had 10 of his team-high 26 in the final period.

The trio scored all 26 points in the final New York run.

“Allan got us going,” Sprewell said. “He hit some big shots and got us back in the game. Once we started cutting into the lead, I think we picked it up effectively. We contested shots and got steals down the stretch.”

Memphis guard Jason Williams was more direct.

“They came and took the win from us in the fourth quarter,” he said.

Kurt Thomas added 18 points and 16 rebounds for New York.

New York has won three of its last four, while Memphis dropped its fourth straight. The Grizzlies have lost 13 of their last 15.
