76ers

NEW YORK -- Carmelo Anthony scored 37 points and hit the go-ahead jumper with three-tenths of a second remaining and the New York Knicks survived a fourth-quarter collapse and escaped Madison Square Garden with a 110-109 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers Saturday night.

The Knicks nearly blew a double-digit lead to Philadelphia for the second time this season, but this time Anthony hit the 11-footer from the left wing to give New York its final cushion.

The Knicks needed Anthony's dramatic shot because they scored eight points in the final 5 1/2 minutes and lost the lead on a short jumper by Jahlil Okafor with nine seconds remaining.
