New York Knicks (14:17) - Golden State (17:15) 94:132
The great run of the New York Knicks in the league continues.
Tonight the team from the Big Apple recorded their eighth straight victory with a big display against the champion Golden State.
The Knicks, did not fall behind even once in the game, and the champion, who of course lacked the injured Steph Curry, was not a real opponent and suffered a heavy defeat at the end.
Center Ammonal Quickli led the Knicks with six players in double figures, with Jaylen Brunson contributing 21 points of his own.
The Warriors, in the absence of the big star, received 26 points from Jordan Paul and another 13 from Jonathan Cominga, but recorded a fourth loss in the last five games and have an alarming balance of 17:15.
