Marbury and Knicks down Heat

Basketball Betting Lines

02/27/2007 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Stephon Marbury scored 18 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, leading the New York Knicks over the Miami Heat, 99-93, at Madison Square Garden.

Eddy Curry added 28 points and 11 rebounds for New York, which rebounded from Sunday's 101-92 setback in New Jersey to win for the third time in five outings since the All-Star break. Jamal Crawford tallied 20 points for the Knicks, who also won for the sixth straight time at home.

Shaquille O'Neal ended with 20 points for Miami, which has dropped three of four. Jason Kapono added 24 points for the Heat, who couldn't follow up Sunday's surprising 86-81 victory over Cleveland with another win.

Miami led 77-71 early in the fourth quarter, but the Knicks went on a 13-4 run to take the lead. Marbury capped the surge with a three-pointer at the 6:54 mark for an 84-81 lead.

Later, Miami tied the game at 92-92 on Kapono's three-pointer with 1:46 left. The teams then exchanged possessions, both coming up empty, and Marbury's driving layup with 59 seconds left to give New York the lead for good.

On Miami's ensuing possession, Malik Rose made the first of his two key plays when he immediately fouled O'Neal with 43.7 seconds left. O'Neal hit only 1- for-2 from the line to cut the deficit to one, 94-93.

Next time down the court, Rose found himself with the ball at the top of the key after Marbury couldn't find a way to the basket. Rose, however, did when Kapono left him unguarded and his dish to Curry went awry only to find a wide open Crawford in the right corner. Crawford hit the trey with 20.7 seconds left, giving New York a four-point lead.

Miami didn't find the bucket after that.

New York benefited from a strong showing at the free throw line, hitting 30- of-39 attempts. The Heat went to the line only eight time, connecting five times.

Jason Williams ended with 15 points for the Heat, who trailed 24-23 after one quarter and 45-39 at halftime. Miami, though, rallied to tie the game going into the fourth at 70-70.

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).

Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.

A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.

Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.

"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.

De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.

The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.

The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.

De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.

Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.

But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
