 NEW YORK (AP) - The way things have been going for the New York Knicks, it wouldn't have been a surprise if Stephon Marbury's 3-pointer spun out. But down it went, and the Knicks' lagging spirits — as well as their playoff hopes — went up.
Eddy Curry scored 13 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, Marbury rattled in a clinching 3-pointer with 8.5 seconds left, and New York beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 97-93 on Wednesday night to snap a four-game losing streak.
The injury-depleted Knicks lost yet another starter, but won for the second time in eight games and are 1 1/2 games behind Orlando for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
