After three consecutive road losses to the Hornets , Thunder and Rockets , the New York Knicks were desperate for a win Wednesday in Memphis against the Grizzlies . That said, they'd be without three of their main contributors, Miles McBride, Mitchell Robinson and three-time All-Star Jalen Brunson. They began the first quarter with a sense of urgency, outscoring Memphis 48-30 in the first frame.
Although they were outscored in the third, the Knicks took control again in the fourth, ending their four-game road trip with an 11-point victory. New York finished with five scorers in double-figures, three of whom scored 20 or more. OG Anunoby led the way with 25 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal.
Karl-Anthony Towns added a triple-double with 20 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists. Mikal Bridges also impressed with 24 points on 9-for-15 shooting. Wednesday's game marked a milestone for Bridges, who's been the league's most reliable player since he entered the NBA ahead of the 2018-19 season.
