Stephon Marbury scored the winning basket as time expired to lift an undermanned New York Knicks to a surprise 97-96 overtime victory over the Utah Jazz on Monday.

The Knicks could only field eight players after a mass brawl in a game against the Denver Nuggets two days ago resulted in four players being suspended, but New York rallied from a 16-point deficit to edge out Utah.

Missing for New York were Nate Robinson, who received a 10-game ban for his role in Saturday's fight, Mardy Collins (six games), Jared Jefferies (four) and Jerome James (one).

The Knicks were also without injured starters Steve Francis and Quentin Richardson.

However, the Knicks (10-17) were still strong enough to get the better of Northeast Division leaders Utah (18-7), with Marbury scoring 29 points and David Lee added 17 points and pulling down a career-high 20 rebounds.

Jamal Crawford had 18 points for the Knicks and Channing Frye chipped in with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Renaldo Balkman had 15 rebounds for New York.

Deron Williams made a jumper with just three seconds left in overtime to give the Jazz a 96-95 lead but Marbury's layup went through the basket as the buzzer sounded, with the basket standing after an official review.

New York has now beaten Utah in their last five meetings.

Williams had 23 points for the Jazz, as did Carlos Boozer, who also added 10 rebounds for the Jazz.
