Bill Laimbeer is aging quickly with his new team. <\/p>\n
Essence Carson scored 21 points and Alex Montgomery added six of her 13 points in overtime as the New York Liberty rallied past Indiana 75-68 Wednesday in a matinee game. It marked the second straight overtime victory for New York. <\/p>\n
''I'm almost completely gray now after the last two games,'' Liberty coach Laimbeer said, joking. ''You don't want to put yourselves in those positions at home, on the road OK. At home we want to take care of business before overtime. We're learning, learning about confidence in ourselves. So I guess if you're going to go overtime and win, that's a positive.'' <\/p>\n
New York (2-1) rallied from an 11-point deficit in the third quarter, surviving a nearly 7 1\/2-minute drought without a basket between the third and fourth periods, to force overtime. <\/p>\n
''We kept being aggressive,'' Carson said. ''Even though we weren't getting baskets, they weren't scoring either.'' <\/p>\n
Indiana took a 68-67 lead in overtime on Briann January's jumper with 2:35 left. Montgomery made with consecutive baskets, including one on a putback that gave New York a 71-68 lead with 1:04 left. <\/p>\n
After the Fever had a turnover with 14.7 seconds left, they were forced to foul. <\/p>\n
''I thanked Alex in the locker room,'' Laimbeer said. ''By far the best I've seen her play. Her energy level was just what we needed. She played to her strengths and was a great boost for us.'' <\/p>\n
