In a surprising turn of events, the New York Knicks added another win to their impressive road trip record by defeating the Golden State Warriors 119-112 on Tuesday night. Despite missing key players Julius Randle and OG Anunoby due to injuries, the Knicks managed to outshine the Warriors on their home court.
Jalen Brunson led the charge for the Knicks with a stellar performance, scoring 34 points and showcasing why he’s a strong contender for All-NBA honors this season. Miles McBride also stepped up in Anunoby’s absence, delivering a career-best 29 points to support Brunson’s efforts.
On the other side, the Warriors struggled to find their rhythm, with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson facing challenges in efficiency. Despite their efforts, Golden State couldn’t overcome the disciplined play of the Knicks, prompting head coach Steve Kerr to express his frustration in a candid postgame assessment.

“We just didn’t execute well enough to earn the win,” Kerr stated. “It’s disappointing because we wanted to start off strong, especially with three home games this week. But credit to the Knicks, they played a solid game and deserved the victory.”
With this loss, the Warriors now find themselves in the tenth seed in the Western Conference, while the Knicks continue to climb the ranks with their third consecutive road win. Up next, Golden State will face the Memphis Grizzlies, while the Knicks prepare for a showdown against the reigning champion Denver Nuggets on Thursday, marking the final game of their successful road trip.
