NEW YORK (AP) - With one big block, Dwight Howard boosted Orlando's playoff chances and severely damaged New York's. But was it actually a block? Howard's questionable rejection kept the game tied in the final minute, and Jameer Nelson followed with a 3-pointer with 38 second remaining that helped the Magic send the Knicks to their season-high fourth straight loss, 94-89 Monday night.
"That was clear as day it was goaltending," Knicks guard Stephon Marbury said.
Nelson also made the tying 3-pointer with 1:06 left and finished with 18 points for Orlando, which got its second consecutive key victory in the race for a playoff berth and moved into sole possession of seventh place in the Eastern Conference.
