| (MySportsbook) - Things could get real interesting -- or perhaps even ugly -- in the Big Apple when Latrell Sprewell's hand heals. New York captured its first triumph, a 95-88 victory over the Sacramento Kings, thanks in large part to the exploits of newly-acquired Lee Nailon. Nailon scored 20 points in 22 minutes, including 10 in the first six-plus minutes of the fourth quarter. It was a tremendous reversal of fortune for a team that has routinely blown huge lead in the final stanza this season. "I knew in |

The Kings fell to Miami on Sunday, 88-78; lost to Orlando on Tuesday, 125-121; and ended the trip |
