No questioning the Knicks' effort on this night.

Jamal Crawford made the go-ahead basket with 28 seconds left, and the New York Knicks erased a 17-point deficit to beat the Milwaukee Bucks 91-88 on Friday.

One night after their coach accused them of quitting during a 104-59 loss in Boston, the Knicks surged back in the fourth quarter to win for the third time in four games.

Crawford and Zach Randolph led New York with 25 points apiece. Fred Jones provided a huge spark by scoring all of his 10 in the fourth quarter in place of Stephon Marbury, who had 13 points but left midway through the third quarter with a right shoulder muscle spasm.

Michael Redd scored 27 points for the Bucks, but missed two late 3-point attempts in Milwaukee's third straight loss.
