Offensive Brilliance at Madison Square Garden

The New York Knicks continued their impressive run at home, registering a 133-120 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night. Under new head coach Mike Brown, the Knicks are thriving offensively, extending their unbeaten record at Madison Square Garden to 7-0, their best home start since the 2012-13 campaign when they clinched their most recent Atlantic Division title.

Key Player Performances

Jalen Brunson was once again instrumental, leading his side with 32 points and dishing out 10 assists. Karl-Anthony Towns also played a significant role, recording a double-double with 21 points and 13 rebounds. Mikal Bridges added 22 points to the tally, and OG Anunoby chipped in with 16. Coming off the bench, Jordan Clarkson made a notable impact, scoring 13 points, including 10 in the second quarter.

The Knicks showcased their offensive firepower by scoring at least 77 points in a half for the third consecutive fixture. Over their current five-game winning streak at home, they have averaged 130.2 points per game.

Game Flow and Milestones

After a tight opening quarter tied at 30, the Knicks executed a decisive 12-0 run to close the frame, capped by Brunson’s basket with just 0.5 seconds left. They maintained their momentum by launching a 7-0 spell at the start of the second, extending their lead to 49-30 with Deuce McBride’s three-pointer. By halftime, New York led 77-54.

Memphis narrowed the margin to 11 points midway through the second quarter, but the Knicks repeatedly pressed forward, with Clarkson’s 10 points in the period helping to restore a comfortable advantage at the break. In the fourth, the Grizzlies trimmed a 28-point deficit down to ten, but Brunson ensured the hosts held firm to secure the win.

Grizzlies’ Struggles Continue

For the visitors, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Santi Aldama each contributed 19 points. Ja Morant produced 16 points and 10 assists but endured a tough evening from the field, making just 4 of 14 attempts. The loss marks Memphis’ sixth defeat in their last seven games.

Meanwhile, the Knicks played without starting centre Mitchell Robinson, who was rested ahead of a back-to-back stretch.
