Overview
- OG Anunoby scored 25 points, Landry Shamet added 23 with six threes, and Josh Hart had 20 as New York won despite quiet scoring nights from Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns.
- Brunson shot 4-for-15 but contributed 12 points, 13 assists and seven rebounds, while Towns posted 11 points and 13 boards as the offense flowed to open shooters.
- The Knicks recorded 30 assists, drawing praise from coach Mike Brown for unselfish play and quicker decisions that have underpinned the recent surge.
- New York held Los Angeles to 100 points and 28% from three, marking the fifth time in six games the Knicks have kept an opponent to 100 or fewer.
- Luka Dončić tallied 30 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists, and a lighthearted postgame gesture toward Brunson drew attention as New York moved to 31-18, tied for the East’s No. 2 seed, with reporting suggesting little roster change before the deadline.
