Buzzer-beater boosts Knicks

Robinson's shot decisive

? After playing poorly in the first half, the New York Knicks went with a smaller lineup and came up with their biggest win of the season.

A buzzer-beating three-pointer by 5-foot-9 Nate Robinson lifted the Knicks to a 105-102 overtime victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday.

Stephon Marbury scored a season-high 33 points, and rookie Channing Frye added 21 points and 11 rebounds for New York, which rallied from a 16-point deficit in the third quarter and then squandered a nine-point lead in the fourth.

“We got really aggressive, especially when we went small,” Knicks coach Larry Brown said. “We got loose balls, we didn’t turn the ball over, and we got second shots. We really hurt them on the boards.”

Allen Iverson had 40 points and 10 assists, and Chris Webber scored 19 points for Philadelphia, which has lost four of five.
