Cassell was finally recognized by the NBA for his effort and re ceived the NBA Player of the Week honors from the league. Ip the last week, the Nets have gone 4-0, thanks to Sam’s 30- point, 11-assist average over the last week. Cassell shot .547 from the field and an astounding .943 from the line in the four New Jersey victo ries. He scored 35 points and 11 assists against Charlotte and also found himself occasionally guard ing Glen Rice. That’s versatility. The Houston Rockets are probably kicking themselves because the point guard that they so desperately need around playoff time, and one they actually got rid of, is kicking it in another city. fuesday • A —JeffWebb is a junior journalism major. NEW YORK (AP) — The outcome of Sunday’s Knicks-Heat game remained in dispute Monday as NBA commissioner David Stern considered a protest filed by New York that could change the final score — and the playoff race. The Knicks formally protested their 82-81 loss by sending a videotape, a letter and a $10,000 fee to the league office. The team narrowed its argument to claim that a technical malfunction — the early illumination of a red light behind the basket with one-tenth of a sec ond left — could have caused referees to wave off Allan Houston’s last-second basket. Had the shot counted, as replays showed it should have, the Knicks would have had an 83-82 victory that kept them in seventh place in the Eastern Conference. They will remain in eight place, a half-game behind the New Jersey Nets, at least until Stern issues a ruling. None was forthcoming Monday, and the commission er could take as long as five days to decide. “I think if they’re interested in doing the right thing, we’ll have another win,” coach JeffVan Gundy said. “We have a legitimate protest. “What the league office always says is, ‘It’s about get ting it right.’ And if it truly is about getting it right, we’ll win the protest and get another win. “The hardest thing for any official to do is admit they’re wrong, but that’s what should happen in this ioftbc case,” Van Gundy said.
