The Knicks were leading by one at halftime but as soon as the third quarter opened, the Warriors went on an 11-0 run and from that moment on, it was all Warriors. In the end, they took a 125-111 victory at the Garden.

“They are a great team. The first half, we moved the ball well, but in the third quarter, it was like, ‘How can I score?'”

Jeff Hornacek
