PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 17 (UPI) -- Allan Houston sent the game into overtime with a buzzer-beating shot Friday night and the New York Knicks went on to down Philadelphia, 113-107.

New York rallied from a 19-point deficit early in the fourth quarter to win for the third time in four games.

Stephon Marbury keyed the fourth-quarter comeback with 10 of his 27 points while Jerome Williams scored 13 and put the Knicks in front for good in the extra period.

Houston hit a three-pointer at the end of regulation to complete the New York comeback.

Philadelphia had a three-game winning streak snapped. Allen Iverson paced the 76ers with 24 points and played despite a fractured right index finger.

The Knicks hit 34 of 36 free-throw tries and made twice as many from the line as did Philadelphia.
