Miami ? The New York Knicks are coping just fine without Allan Houston.

Stephon Marbury scored all 16 of his points in the first half, and the Knicks held the Miami Heat to a season-low point total in a 76-64 victory Saturday.

New York extended its winning streak to four games, even though Houston missed all four because of sore knees.

“We’re playing well right now, we’re clicking,” said forward Kurt Thomas, who scored all 14 of his points in the second half. “We’re waiting for Allan to get back. We know we’re going to be a much stronger team when he gets back, when he’s healthy.”

The Heat scored just 10 points in the fourth quarter, going 6:11 without a field goal.

“Missing got contagious for us today,” said forward Brian Grant, who returned to the lineup after missing five games. “We missed a lot of open looks. You hate when that happens in such a crucial game, and we felt that this was a crucial game for us.”

New York, which remained seventh in the Eastern Conference standings, took three of four from its Atlantic Division rival this season. Miami lost its third straight overall.

Lamar Odom had 18 points and 14 rebounds to pace the Heat, who last led, 15-14, with three minutes left in the first quarter.
