KNICKS KNOTATIONS

THE FRENCH PRINCE OF NEW YORK: Frank Ntilikina posted 10 points, 10 assists, seven rebounds, two blocks and one steal in Jan. 15, 2018 win @ BRO. Ntilikina is the first Knick rookie ever (since 1963-64) to post at least 10 points, 10 assists, seven rebounds, two blocks and one steal. Frank is the first Knick rookie to post a double-double of points-assists off the bench since Greg Anthony on Jan. 22, 1992 @ PHI. Ntilikina is the first Knick rookie to post a point-assist double-double since Mardy Collins on Apr. 15, 2007.

WHAT A RUN: New York went on a 28-0 run between 10:47 to 2:34 of the third quarter in Nov. 22 win versus TOR. New York started the run down 62-52 and ended up 80-62. This was the biggest run in recorded Knicks history (since 1991-92). Previous best was a 24-0 run Nov. 15, 2003 (3rd quarter). This is biggest run in the NBA since the Cleveland Cavaliers went on a 29–0 run at Milwaukee on Dec. 6, 2009. In that third quarter, New York outscored Toronto 41-10 in the third quarter. The +31 margin is New York's best scoring margin in a quarter in the shot-clock era (since 1954-55). (Elias) Previous best was a 29-point differential on Nov. 30, 1982 vs Utah. NEVER OUT OF IT: New York won 118-113 in Nov. 7, 2017 win versus Charlotte. The Knicks were down 15-points with 1:09 left in the second quarter, 69-54. This was the second time in two games the Knicks came back from a deficit of at least 15-points. The Knicks were down 19-points to Indiana on Nov. 5. This is the first time the Knicks came back from at least 15-points in back-to-back games since 2006- Dec. 18, 2006 vs. Utah and Dec. 20, 2006 vs. Charlotte. New York won consecutive games in which they trailed by double-digits entering the 4th quarter (Nov. 5 vs Pacers & Nov. 7 vs Hornets). They had lost their previous 15 such games. In the shot clock era (since 1954-55), the Knicks had not won back-to-back games, while trailing by double-digits entering the 4th quarter in each of those games. Only two teams last season had back-to-back wins when trailing by at least 10-points entering the fourth quarter- Oklahoma City Thunder and Washington Wizards. DONT CALL IT A COMEBACK: New York defeated Indiana 108-101 on Nov. 5, 2017. The Knicks were down 19-points with 1:43 left in the third quarter, 84-65. This was the biggest comeback in win for the Knicks since Apr. 16, 2014 in the season finale vs. Toronto. The Knicks trailed by 21-points. Kristaps Porzingis scored 17 of his 40 points in the fourth quarter and the Knicks overcame a 12-point deficit after three quarters to defeat the Pacers, 108–101. The last New York player to score as many points in the fourth quarter of a game his team rallied to win after trailing by double digits at the end of the third was Jamal Crawford, who put 20 points on the scoreboard over the final 12 minutes at Denver on Nov. 8, 2006. (Elias) CAN’T STOP, WONT STOP: The Knicks made 60.3-percent of their field-goal attempts in their win over the Miami Heat at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday. It marked the second time this month New York made at least 60-percent of its field-goal attempts in a game, having also done that on November 7 against Charlotte. This is the first time the Knicks have had two such games in a single calendar month since 1981, when they converted 64.2 percent of their field-goal attempts against Denver on December 8 and had a .609 field-goal percentage against Chicago on December 18 (From Elias). HEATING UP, THEY’RE ON FIRE! New York hit 47-90 field-goal attempts in Nov. 11 win vs. SAC, marking the fifth consecutive game in which it had connected on at least 50-percent of its shots from the field. This is the longest such streak for the Knicks in a little over 20 years, the Knicks hit at least 50-percent from the floor in March 1997-Mar. 2, 1997-Mar. 9, 1997. The New York Knicks sit 12th in the NBA in FG% at 46.4-percent, The Knicks franchise record for FG% in a season is 49.6-percent accomplished in the 1979-80 season.

THE UNICORN: Kristaps Porzingis posted 37 points on 5-8 shooting from down town, 11 rebounds and five blocks over 40 minutes in Dec. 12 win vs. LAL. Porzingis is the first player in NBA history with 35 points, 10 rebounds, five blocks and five made 3-pointers in a game (Elias). A JACK OF ALL TRADES: Jarrett Jack posted 16 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds over 40 minutes in Jan. 10, 2018 loss versus CHI. This was Jack’s second triple-double of his career- first triple-double Mar. 21, 2012 vs. GSW. Jack-34 years -074 days- is the oldest Knick to post a triple-double since Mark Jackson on Feb. 20, 2002-36 years-325 days. MAKING THE MOST OF HIS MINUTES: Kristaps Porzingis posted a game-high 34 points while playing only 26 minutes, 37 seconds, in the Knicks 118-91 victory over the Kings on Nov. 11, 2017. Porzingis recorded the highest points total for a Knicks player in game in which he didn’t play as many as 30 minutes since Patrick Ewing posted 41 points while playing only 26 minutes in a victory over the Pacers back on April 13, 1988. (Help from Elias) THE BIG 4-0: Kristaps Porzingis posted a career and team best 40 points on 15-24 shooting, eight rebounds and six blocks over 38 minutes in Nov. 5, 2017 win versus Indiana. This was his first 40-point performance of his career. Porzingis is the first player in the NBA, since 1983-84, to post at least 40 points, five rebounds, five blocks and two 3PT FGM. Porzingis is the first Knick to post at least 40 points, five rebounds and five blocks since Patrick Ewing posted 46 points, 12 rebounds and six blocks on Mar. 7, 1995 vs. Boston. He is the first player in the NBA to post that stat line since Dwight Howard on Feb. 25, 2011 vs. OKC.

THE EARLY UNICORN GETS THE WORM: Kristaps Porzingis has posted 414 points in 15 games this season, notching at least 25 points in 10 of those 15 contests. Only two Knicks players totaled more points through their first 15 games of a season. Bernard King racked up 493 points through 15 games in the 1984–85 season, and Patrick Ewing produced 438 points in his first 15 games of the 1989–90 campaign. (Elias)

KNICKS KNOTATIONS

OPENING NIGHT PERFORMERS: Kristaps Porzingis put up some impressive numbers in the New York Knicks season opener on Oct. 19, 2017 at Oklahoma City. Porzingis’ 31-point effort tied him for the ninth best point performance in Knicks history in a season opener. Porzingis also became the youngest Knick ever to record at least 30-points in the team’s season opener.

BACK-TO-BACKS: New York will play 14 sets on back-to-backs during the 2017-18 season. The 14 back-to-backs is one less than last season’s 15 back-to-backs. New York won both ends of its first set of back-to-backs this season. New York didn’t sweep a single back-to-back all last season.

EARLY AND OFTEN: The New York Knicks played six games in the month of October this season. This is the first time since the 1980-81 season that the Knicks played at least six games in October. During the 1980-81 season, the Knicks played eight games in the month of October. This is the earliest the Knicks opened at home since that same season when the Knicks had their home season opener on Oct. 11, 1980.

8 – MICHAEL BEASLEY– FORWARD

HEIGHT 6-9 WEIGHT 235 FROM Kansas State HOMETOWN Prince George's County, MD NBA EXPERIENCE 9 watched Charlotte erase their 14-point lead and take a 95-94 lead with 1:29 left, but then Amar’e Stoudemire took over. The Knicks big man drew a foul and hit a pair of free throws to put New York up one with 1:19 to play and then swatted a Stephen Jackson potential go-ahead dunk with :34.9 remaining, paving the way to game-sealing free throws for New York and their fifth straight win – a 99-95 victory at Time Warner Cable Arena. Raymond Felton, in his return to Charlotte, led New York with 23 points, 13 assists, three rebounds and two steals. Wilson Chandler recorded 21 points and eight rebounds off the bench and Stoudemire added 20 points, six blocks and four rebounds. Charlotte was led by Tyrus Thomas’ 26 points, 11 rebounds and three assists. Stephen Jackson added 18 points, four rebounds and four steals. In the first quarter, CHB went on an 11-4 run to turn an 8-8 tie into a 19-12 lead with 4:33 remaining. NY answered with a Felton triple and a pair of Landry Fields buckets to tie the game at 19, before a Boris Diaw triple put CHB up 22-19. NY cut the deficit to one twice over the final 2:30, settling on a 25-24 deficit after 12 minutes. Their second unit took over in the second quarter, behind the stellar play of Bill Walker (eight points) to open up a 40-31 lead with 5:39 to play, following a 16-6 run. CHB answered with a pair of buckets to cut the Knicks lead to five, before a Chandler trey put them back up eight, 45-37, with 4:01 to play. CHB then went on a 9-2 run to cut the Knicks lead to 47-46. NY answered with a Felton layup and Chandler dunk to regain a five-point lead, before a Thomas bucket cut it to 51-48 at the break. Ronny Turiaf opened the second half scoring with a pair of free throws, putting NY up five, before a D.J. Augustin layup cut it to three. NY responded with a 9-2 run for a then game-high 62-52 lead with 8:38 to play. CHB closed within three, 64-61 with 6:24 to play, prior to NY going on a 17-6 run to open up an 81-67 lead with 1:11 to play. A Stoudemire three-point play gave the Knicks the 14-point lead and would prove to be their final points of the quarter, as CHB closed the period with four consecutive points to cut the Knicks lead to 81-71 after 36 minutes. Stoudemire scored 10 points and blocked three shots and Felton posted nine points and four assists to pace the Knicks third-quarter outburst. In the final frame, CHB scored the first four points to continue their run and cut the Knicks lead to six, before a Chandler layup and Toney Douglas trey put them back up 11, 86-75, with 8:42 to play. CHB then went on an 11-1 run, capped off by an Augustin layup with 4:14 to play, cutting the NY lead to 87-86. Felton ended the drought with a pair of floaters, sandwiched between a Gerald Wallace layup, putting NY up 91-89 with 3:29 to play. Thomas dunked CHB to within one with 3:10 to play, but once again NY had an answer – a Chandler triple, putting them up 94-90 with 2:54 to play. CHB finally got over the hump, grabbing a 95-94 lead with 1:29 to play, following a Thomas three-point play. NY answered 10 seconds later with a pair of Stoudemire free throws to go up 96-95 with 1:19 on the clock. On the ensuing possession, Thomas missed a jumper for the Cats, which was followed by a Stoudemire missed jumper. On the ensuing CHB possession came the play of the game, as Stoudemire stuffed a potential Jackson go-ahead jam, and Danilo Gallinari grabbed the rebound with :34.9 left. Fields then went to the line and after hitting the first freebie, rimmed out the second. However, in came a soaring Felton, who grabbed the board and kicked it out to Gallinari, who after being fouled, buried the game-sealing free throws.
