New York Knicks: Box score and player stats
New York Knicks game summary
The New York Knicks couldn’t find much rhythm on offense, shooting just 35.8% from the floor. OG Anunoby struggled all night, going 1-for-12 from the field and missing four of his five three-point tries. He still managed to score 6 points, mostly from the free-throw line, and grabbed 8 rebounds.
Josh Hart had a stronger showing with 24 points, hitting 5 of his 9 threes. Karl-Anthony Towns chipped in 19 points and 8 rebounds, going 8-for-9 from the line. Jalen Brunson added 22 points and 6 assists, but foul trouble slowed him down in the second half.
Mitchell Robinson was solid on the glass, pulling down 13 rebounds, including 7 on the offensive end. Off the bench, Miles McBride scored 11 points and hit 3 triples, but there wasn’t much support beyond that. The rest of the reserves combined for just 3 points, and the team finished with only 17 assists, which was a sign that the offense never clicked.
