  火箭队上一场遭遇黑色6分钟遭鱼腩老鹰翻盘,令主帅范甘迪非常愤怒。休息一天后,火箭队主场又在最后一秒被逆转,火箭队最后时刻被对手投中致命三分,主场92-93败给尼克斯队。

Jamal Crawford banked in a 3-pointer at the buzzer to send the New York Knicks to their first road win of the season, 93-92 over the reeling Houston Rockets on Thursday night.

Crawford finished with 19 points, going 5-of-11 from the 3-point arc, and Kurt Thomas added 23 points and 14 rebounds to hand the Rockets their fourth loss in five games.

New York, which ends a four-game trip against Dallas on Friday, came back from an 11-point deficit to start the fourth quarter, getting plenty of clutch baskets from Crawford and Thomas down the stretch.

The Knicks opened the quarter by scoring the first 11 points to tie the score at 72, getting back-to-back 3s from Penny Hardaway. Houston regained the lead and was ahead 92-88 with 41.4 seconds left after Maurice Taylor's basket.

But Thomas scored on a jumper with 26.8 seconds left, Houston's Tracy McGrady missed a basket with 2.9 seconds left and the Knicks rebounded to set up the final shot.

After a timeout, Crawford came open to the right of the top of the key, took the inbounds pass and banked in a 3 as time expired. Crawford sprinted to the other end of the court, his teammates chasing him until they caught up with him and mobbed him.

The Rockets players and fans watched in stunned silence as the celebration went on for several minutes.

McGrady led the Rockets with 24 points and Yao Ming added 23 points and 11 rebounds.
