Tuesday night marked Timberwolves' guard Latrell Sprewell's return to Madison Square Garden and he can expect to hear from the league office in the next few days.

Last night, Sprewell Garden chairman James Dolan was cursed at by Sprewell numerous times and taunted throughout the game.

"The worst of it came with 1:14 remaining after Sprewell hit a three-pointer that made it 94-89. As the Knicks called for a timeout, Sprewell ran toward Dolan and shouted several expletives unsuitable for younger audiences. Dolan responded by sticking out his tongue."

"All I can tell you is that he doesn't belong in our stadium," an irate Dolan said.

"The stuff I was doing it's just the way I play," said Sprewell, who scored 31 points. "You guys have seen it here when I was here."

League officials have vowed to launch an investigation into Sprewell's behavior.
