The Knicks scored 78 points in the first half and made 13 of their first 18 threes and finished the game 15 -of-29 from downtown.

Karl-Anthony Towns scored a game-high 30 points to go with 11 rebounds.

The Knicks will have an opportunity to secure win No. 50 for the second season in a row against the Phoenix Suns .

The No. 3 Knicks improved to 3.5 games ahead of the fourth -seeded Indiana Pacers , who face MVP candidate Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets on Sunday . A Knicks win against the Suns plus a Pacers loss to the Nuggets all but seals New York’s playoff standing as the Eastern Conference’s third seed, and two more wins will cement the standing. “We try to win every game we play. Not just two ,” said Towns . “We got to do a good job of staying focused and finishing out the season strong.”.
