February 23,
NY wins on last-second dunk
Knicks edge Mavs, 108-106
United Press International
NEW YORK — Bill Cart
wright doesn’t fool around
when he puts in a backbreaking
effort.
“I hurt my lower back on that
last play,” Cartwright said after
his dunk with six seconds left
lifted the New York Knicks
Tuesday night to a 108-106 vic
tory over the Dallas Mavericks.
“I’m hurting a little right now,
but when you see an opportun
ity like that, you love it. You just
want it again. I’m alright,
though.”
With the score 106-106, New
York’s Paul Westphal took the
ball at halfcourt, faked Elston
Turner and drove the lane. His
layup bounded off the rim and
Cartwright slammed it in to give
the Knicks their fifth straight
triumph at home and 11th vic
tory in their last 14 games. Jay
Vincent of Dallas missed a base
line jumper with two seconds
left.
“It was a delay play by Paul
Westphal,” said Cartwright, who
also led the Knicks with 20
points. “Ideally, Paul is sup
posed to drive to the basket with
six seconds left. If he is double

teamed, then someone will help
out on a wing or he could drive it
out the post. He missed the shot,
I caught it and drove it to the
hoop.
“I didn’t see anyone in front
of me blocking me out, which is
just fine.”
Dallas Coach Dick Motta
blamed the loss on his team’s in
ability to keep Cartwright in
check.
“They beat us inside,” Motta
said. “We couldn’t control Cart
wright underneath. We haven’t
played well since the All-Star
game. We’ve won one and given
two away.”
The Knicks trailed from early
in the second quarter until Mar
vin Webster tied it 85-85 with
just under 9:00 left. Sly Williams
put the Knicks ahead 106-104
with 49 seconds left. Bill Garnett
connected for Dallas with 25
seconds remaining to make it
106-106 before New York called
a timeout and set up the game-
winner.
Bernard King added 18 for
the Knicks, Westphal 15 and
Williams 14. For Dallas, Vincent
and Mark Aguire each scored 25
points, Kelvin Ransey had 14
and Rolando Blackman 12.
Dallas led 82-77 after three
quarters with Aguirre scoring
12 in the third quarter and Vin
cent eight. The Mavericks were
ahead 51-48 at the half as Ran
sey collected 10 points in the
second quarter. The Knicks
held a 30-24 lead after one quar
ter, getting seven points from
Truck Robinson and six from
Westphal.
New York Coach Hubie
Brown said he was counting on
Westphal to beat his man and
score, but he was happy with the
outcome anyway.
“During the timeout (with 20
seconds left), we wanted to dis
cuss the plays which were good
for us tonight. We wanted West
phal to drive with six seconds
left on the clock, but fortunately,
he left with eight seconds left.
Westphal just blew right by the
guy (Elston Turner) guarding
him and he got and he got into
the lane fast. I was very elated
with what happened.
“There are all kinds of ways to
play the last shot. No one should
really critique or second guess.”
