NEW YORK (AP) _ Allen Iverson scored 26 points as the Philadelphia 76ers beat the New York Knicks for the second time in the exhibition season, 94-86 Wednesday night. Latrell Sprewell, who postponed his decision on a contract extension, led the Knicks (2-5) with 17 points. Eric Snow added 16 points for the Sixers (3-4), who will play final their final exhibition game Friday at New Jersey. Nazr Mohammed had nine points and 14 rebounds for Philadelphia, while Larry Hughes had 13 points. Marcus Camby added 14 points and 12 rebounds for New York, while Allan Houston and John Wallace each had 13 points. Mohammed tied the game 80-80 with a free throw with 4:39 left and Snow put the 76ers ahead for good 29 seconds later with two free throws. Iverson then scored nine of Philadelphia's final 12 points. The Knicks committed 25 turnovers, 11 in the fourth quarter when they were outscored 22-16, while Philadelphia had just 11 total. Prior to the game, Sprewell announced he wants more time before reaching a decision on his contract extension. The Knicks have made two offers _ 5 years at $64 million and 2 years at $21.3 million with his option for a third year. He has indicated he is leaning toward the latter. "This is a big decision and I want more time," said Sprewell, who played with an inflamed right ankle. "I don't want to feel rushed. It will probably take another day or two." Andrew Lang of the Knicks missed his second straight game with a strained left hamstring. The Knicks close out their exhibition season Thursday against New Jersey in Hartford, Conn.
