The New York Knicks staged their biggest comeback since April 2024, beating the Golden State Warriors 110-107. The Knicks almost blew a game against a severely depleted Warriors side, but they came through in the end.
New York seemed to underestimate the Warriors, who listed eight players, including Steph Curry and Draymond Green, on the injury report. The Knicks played sloppily at both ends of the floor, with Jalen Brunson carrying the offense while no one else could score. The Warriors’ lead ballooned to 21 points before the Knicks’ defense kicked into gear for a comeback.
The team turned it on after halftime, fighting all the way back to take a three-point lead into the fourth quarter. New York built on its lead with a boost from Jordan Clarkson, but Golden State made one last run to force a one-possession game in the waning moments of the action. But the Knicks held on and got the win.
As CP likes to say, “It wasn’t pretty, but it was gritty.” Let’s get into the performances that salvaged the victory for New York.
