New York stifled Los Angeles defensively, holding the Clippers
to just 33-of-88 (37.5 percent) shooting from the floor and
11-of-34 from 3-point range. Amir Coffey's 16 points off the
bench led Los Angeles.
Six Knicks players scored in double figures, led by RJ Barrett's
24 points. He has scored at least 20 points in five straight
games. He also grabbed nine rebounds and dished four assists.
Immanuel Quickley and Cam Reddish came off the bench to score 21
and 17 points, and Quickley hauled in 10 rebounds to go with a
game-high six assists. Mitchell Robinson also recorded a
double-double of 12 points with 11 rebounds -- eight of which
were offensive -- and Alec Burks added 15 points.
Julius Randle struggled shooting from the floor in his return to
the lineup after a second-half ejection Friday in Phoenix.
Still, he managed 10 points despite his 4-of-16 performance and
grabbed eight rebounds.
New York never trailed and built a lead of as many as 32 points.
Los Angeles appeared to have life at the end of the third
quarter when the Clippers cut the gap to 12, but the Knicks did
not allow a point in the fourth quarter until 3:29 in.
New York scored the period's first 10 points, and blew the game
open with a 25-8 overall run.
The Clippers' Isaiah Hartenstein and Luke Kennard came off the
bench to score 14 and 10 points.
Los Angeles' starting five combined for just 36 points, led by
11 from Terance Mann. Reggie Jackson added 10 points.
Stuck at 78 points until 3:20 to go in regulation, the Clippers
appeared headed for their lowest-scoring performance of the
season since posting just 81 on Nov. 19 at New Orleans. They
finished with something of a flourish, scoring 15 points.
