LOS ANGELES, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- Baron Davis hit the last of Los Angeles' three overtime 3-pointers Wednesday, boosting the Clippers to a dramatic 128-124 victory over New York.

A long-range assault in the extra period kept the Knicks from winning for the first time in February.

Zach Randolph's layup lifted the Clippers into a tie with 14 seconds left in regulation and they survived two late game-winning attempts from Nate Robinson and Al Harrington.

Steve Novak and Eric Gordon then hit 3-pointers in overtime to keep the Clippers in the game and Davis came through a clutch long shot that gave Los Angeles a 126-121 lead with 11 seconds to play.

Nate Robinson hit a 3-pointer for the Knicks with 5 seconds to go, but Fred Jones added two free throws for the Clippers with 4 seconds remaining that accounted for the final score.

The teams combined for 32 points in the 4 minutes of overtime.

Gordon led the Clippers with 30 points in what was only their sixth home win all season.

Robinson paced the Knicks with 33 points and 15 assists. New York had three other players with double-doubles, including Harrington with 19 points and 11 rebounds.

The Knicks have dropped six in a row.
