Knicks Win After Boston Collapse

The Knicks mounted a furious fourth-quarter comeback to beat the Bucks, 91-88, Friday night at Madison Square Garden.

The Knicks dragged through three quarters before showing their first signs of life since being wiped out in Boston Thursday night, 104-59.

Jamal Crawford led the way and put the Knicks up in the closing seconds with a side-angle jumper that went off glass. He apologized to Knicks fans for the Boston debacle during his post-game interview on the court.

Fred Jones also played a key role in the win, scoring all 10 of his points in the final period. Jones did not see action until an injury to Stephon Marbury's shoulder forced him out of the game. The comeback was initiated and completed with Marbury in the locker room.

Crawford and Zach Randolph each had 25 points to lead the Knicks. Michael Redd had 27 points for the Bucks.

Mason, Williams Hurting For Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks could be down two starters for tonight's home game against Philadelphia, due to ankle injuries suffered by point guard Mo Williams and small forward Desmond Mason on Saturday against Dallas.

Both players sat out practice on Monday, and their status was termed questionable by Bucks' Coach Larry Krystkowiak.

"I didn't think it was going to be too bad until after the game when I took my shoe off, and it had swelled up a little bit," Mason said of his injury, suffered in the first quarter of the Bucks' 97-95 victory over the Mavericks.
