Crawford's big night sinks Nuggets

Jamal Crawford punctuated a 35-point night by stealing Eduardo Najera's pass and draining a high-arching three-pointer with 3.7 seconds remaining to give the Knicks a 109-107 victory in Denver. The Knicks overcame a 10-point deficit after three quarters to improve to 2-3. Crawford, who periodically blogged for Newsday during his New York stint that lasted four-plus years, filled the stat sheet with six rebounds, seven assists, two steals and seven turnovers. He was 14-for-27 from the field, including 4-for-7 from downtown.
