"The first quarter was a slog offensively for both teams. Thanks to sloppy dribbling, turnovers and rushed shots, the two combined for just 24 points with two minutes to go."

The first quarter was challenging for both teams, with the Knicks scoring a season-low 14 points. A strategic shift in the second quarter, focusing on Karl-Anthony Towns, helped narrow the gap.

The game showcased resilience and a strong finish despite earlier struggles.
