Knicks top Wizards with big overtime

Zach Randolph had 24 points and 10 rebounds, Jamal Crawford added 21 points and the New York Knicks broke a franchise record by scoring 23 points in overtime of a 113-100 victory over the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night in Washington.

Three-pointers from Nate Robinson and Quentin Richardson and a pair of dunks from David Lee at the start of the extra period helped the Knicks pull away to win for only the second time in 11 games. New York broke the team mark of 19 overtime points, set in a victory over Detroit in 1964.

Robinson, Richardson and Lee each finished with 19 points for the Knicks, who rallied from a nine-point, fourth-quarter deficit.

They had been 0-3 in overtime games this season.

Magic 103, Pistons 85: At Auburn Hills, Mich., Rashard Lewis scored 20 points, reserve Keith Bogans added 19 and Orlando ended Detroit’s 10-game winning streak.

Rookie Rodney Stuckey led Detroit with 16 points, but only two of Detroit’s starters scored 10 or more. Richard Hamilton had 12 and Wallace 10.

Rockets 93, Cavaliers 85: At Cleveland, Rafer Alston scored 22 points, Yao Ming added 16 points and 14 rebounds, and Houston tied a team record with its ninth straight road win as the Cavaliers wasted a triple-double from LeBron James.

Timberwolves 104, 76ers 88: At Minneapolis, reserve Rashad McCants scored 20 points, Al Jefferson had 19 points and 14 rebounds, and Minnesota snapped a five-game losing streak by beating Philadelphia.
