The New York Knicks rallied from a 21-point deficit to beat the Golden State Warriors 110-117 on Sunday night.
Knicks’ Jalen Brunson had 30 points and nine assists, Karl-Anthony Towns tallied 17 points and 12 rebounds for the Knicks, while OG Anunoby and Jordan had 14 points each.
New York took a while to wake up in their return home from a five-game road trip before eventually picking up their third straight victory.
On the other hand, Brandin Podziemski led the Warriors with 25 points. Quentin Post had a career-high 22, and Gui Santos finished with 20.
Meanwhile, Stephen Curry and most of their recognizable names were on the bench in their season-high fifth straight loss.
Curry missed his 17th straight game with right knee pain and inflammation. Younger brother Seth Curry is out at least a week with a left groin strain and veteran forward Al Horford has a left calf strain that will also sideline him at least a week.
Golden State also rested Draymond Green, Kristaps Porzingis and De’Anthony Melton on the first night of back-to-back games, hoping they will be available Monday in Washington.
The Warriors led 35-21 after one quarter and extended it to 46-25 on Post’s follow shot with 9 1/2 minutes remaining in the half.
New York cut it to 54-45 at the break.
The Warriors turned the ball over without being able to get a final shot after Anunoby’s free throws with 6.2 seconds left.
Up next: the Warriors visit Washington on Monday, while the Knicks host the Pacers on Tuesday.
