and Josh Howard defend in the first quarter, Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2006.
[AP] | Nowitzki had 32 points for the Mavericks,
who had their three-game winning streak snapped and lost to the Knicks for the
first time in eight games.
Curry converted a three-point play after grabbing an offensive rebound,
giving the Knicks a 110-109 lead with 3:12 remaining in overtime. Davis' follow
pushed the lead to three before Nowitzki hit a 3-pointer to tie it for the final
time.
Davis made two free throws with 1:27 to go to give the Knicks a 114-112, then
he pressured Nowitzki into a tough miss on the other end. Crawford made three
free throws from there.
Ahead by 18 points in the first half, the Knicks were still up by four until
Devin Harris scored on a drive, forced Marbury into an offensive foul on the
other end, and Jason Terry knocked down a jumper to tie it at 101.
After Marbury was called for traveling, Nowitzki's jumper with 1 1/2 minutes
gave Dallas its first lead since it was 7-6. Curry's follow dunk tied it at 103,
and Marbury answered Terry's drive with two free throws to keep it tied with 27
seconds to play.
Nowitzki missed two chances after that, including a 3-pointer just before the
buzzer.
Terry scored 20 points and Josh Howard had 18 for Dallas. Harris had 15 and
Jerry Stackhouse 12 off the bench.
Playing one night after winning at Cleveland, the Knicks seized control
minutes into the game. A 17-4 run turned a three-point deficit into a 21-11
lead, and New York led 35-21 at the end of the first period. Marbury and Curry
each scored 10 points in the Knicks' highest-scoring first quarter of the
season.
Maurice Taylor's basket pushed the lead to 40-22 less
than a minute into the second quarter, and the Knicks were ahead 63-48 at
halftime.
