The Knicks led by as many as 14 points, but the double-digit advantage was cut to two going into the fourth quarter. Then, New York outscored the Pacers 25-18 to secure the win, despite going 8-for-28 from 3-point range.
Jalen Brunson led the team with 29 points, nine assists, and five rebounds. OG Anunoby scored 25 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and handed out five assists.
The Warriors have hit a rough patch, dropping their last four games. This includes a 127-117 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The short-handed Warriors trailed by 12 points in the fourth quarter before Gui Santos' 3-pointer, and a dunk from Malevy Leons trimmed Minnesota's lead to seven points. Unfortunately, Golden State missed nine of its next 10 shots, and a pair of 3-pointers from Anthony Edwards enabled the T'Wolves to pull away down the stretch.
Brandin Podziemski led five double-digit scorers with 25 points and 10 rebounds. Kristaps Porzingis added 20 points and four rebounds.
Here's a look at what you need to know for both teams ahead of this contest.
Given the fact that New York is 8-3 in its last 11 outings against Western Conference opponents, and the Warriors are 2-4 in their last six road games, the edge goes to the Knicks.
