that New Jersey’s Sam Cassell car
ried his team to the record and
playoff spot they were enjoying.
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.

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.
