Starks was engulfed by teammates at midcourt while the Suns looked on in disbelief. The crowd went wild, and so did the Knicks. Then Starks let fly from the left of the key behind the 3-point circle just an eyelash before the final buzzer sounded. Danny Manning flew at Starks, who gave Manning a head fake and calmly waited for him to fly by. The long rebound bounced out near the free-throw line, and Starks retrieved the loose ball behind the line. Houston's shot was short with about four seconds to play. Childs passed to Starks, who passed to Allan Houston for an open 3-pointer. But Ewing did not have the shot, so he passed back to Chris Childs, who passed up an open 18-foot jumper. Trailing by 2 points with 20.9 seconds to play after a timeout, the Knicks wanted to go to Patrick Ewing. The Knicks (38-14) were lucky to win this one, and they even got a break on the final play. It was fitting that Starks made the game-winner because he kept the Knicks alive late, scoring 11 of his 15 points in the fourth quarter, another big performance in a terrific season for Starks. His thrilling game-winning 3-point jumper at the buzzer lifted New York to an emotional 95-94 victory over the Phoenix Suns at Madison Square Garden. That was exactly how it happened for John Starks last night. And the ball swishes through the net for victory. The ball is in your hands for a 3-pointer. It was the kind of shot that kids dream about when they are growing up.
