Knicks Beat 76ers On Robinson's Trey In OT

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 3-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."

Dalembert's Return Will Bolster Frontcourt

After the 76ers’ shootaround Monday before the game against the Hornets, there were some who thought Samuel Dalembert might play.

"Yeah, he was close," Sixers president Billy King said Tuesday. "I just think he wanted to get another day’s practice, so we’ll just see how he feels tomorrow. If things go well, maybe (he’ll) play tomorrow. He’s traveling. We’ll see. I just think he wants to get more practice time on the court, so mentally you’re confident. He’s come back twice and re-aggravated it, so I think he’s a little more cautious this time. It’s a long year. When you’re cautious playing, you tend to hurt yourself even more."

Iverson Sued For Attack

Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson will face questioning by lawyers for four people who are suing him over a July fight at a Washington bar, a federal judge said Tuesday.

U.S. District Court Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle in Washington said Iverson can be deposed in the suit, possibly as soon as next month. She denied a defense motion to extend discovery beyond the end of this season, and set a May 10 date for a status conference.

The suit claims the 30-year-old Iverson, league MVP in 2001, joined members of his security detail in attacking patrons and staff at the Eyebar in Washington, leaving one man with a concussion, a perforated ear drum and a damaged right eye. The suit seeks $20 million in damages.

"We're amending the suit" to add the names of members of Iverson's entourage, Gregory Lattimer, a lawyer representing the plaintiffs, said in an interview. "We have suggested Dec. 2 as a possible date for the deposition and are waiting to hear back."
