SUMMER LEAGUE: Former Syracuse star John Wallace scored 37 points Friday night, leading the New York Knicks to a 112-119 overtime victory over the Philadelphia 76ers in the Doral Arrowwood Summer League.

Wallace, selected 18th overall in the NBA draft, was 10-for-22 from the field and 16-for-22 from the line in New York's first game in the league for rookies and selected veterans.

Allen Iverson, selected first overall out of Georgetown, led the 76ers with 36 points, including two free throws with two seconds left in regulation to tie the game at 108. He missed most of the third quarter because of a slightly sprained hip flexor.

IRVIN CASE: Hours after police found cocaine and marijuana scattered around an Irving motel room occupied by Michael Irvin, the Cowboys receiver acknowledged to friends that the drugs were his, a topless dancer testified Friday.

Rachelle Smith, 24, also testified that the March 4 party broken up by Irving police was not the first that Irvin had arranged. She said Irvin had paid for rooms and provided drugs for a series of all-night sex parties with women at the Residence Inn by Marriott.

Smith said Irvin also threatened her after she testified before the Dallas County grand jury that indicted him in April on drug possession charges.

"He kept on telling me that I shouldn't be afraid of the DA's office, I should be afraid of him, because he was more powerful," Smith said. "He said he would put everybody against me, and everybody would hate me. He said that he could score a touchdown and everybody would love him again."

LUSK SIGNS: Tight end Henry Lusk, a seventh-round pick out of Utah, agreed to a two-year deal with the New Orleans Saints on Friday.

Also signing was William Roaf, a two-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle, who signed an eight-year contract - the longest player contract in team history - and defensive end Brady Smith, a third-round pick out of Colorado State. Smith signed a three-year deal.
