SHANE Larkin's three-point play in the final minute of the second overtime helped the New York Knicks snap their eight-game losing streak with a 121-115 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Friday night.

Larkin put the Knicks ahead by four with 28 seconds remaining, and they held on to win a game that Detroit appeared to have control of after two quarters. The Pistons led by 18 in the second and by 12 at the half but blew what looked to be an easy game against the team with the NBA's worst record.

Detroit squandered a five-point lead in the final minute of regulation, allowing the Knicks to tie it at 95 it on a pull-up 3-pointer by Langston Galloway with 6.3 seconds remaining.

With the Pistons down 105-103 late in the first overtime, Detroit's Greg Monroe scored while drawing a foul with 12 seconds left, but he missed the ensuing free throw.

The Rockets won their fourth straight overall and have defeated the Nets eight straight times in Houston.

Mason Plumlee and Deron Williams had 15 points apiece for the Nets. The game was tied with 43.6 seconds left when rookie Markel Brown fouled Harden away from the ball before Houston got the ball in after a timeout, and he made the free throw.

The home losing streak is Denver's longest since dropping 11 straight during the 1997-98 season. The Nuggets finished 11-71 that season, the worst record in the NBA.

The Jazz took advantage of Denver's struggles and led throughout. Utah led by 18 in the first half and used a big surge in the third quarter to put it away.

Tempers flared after Golden State's Festus Ezeli pushed Toronto's Tyler Hansbroughin the throat after they tangled under the basket with seconds remaining in the third.
