How It Happened:
The Knicks avoided a setback on Friday night in the second of a rare home-home matchup against the Timberwolves. New York blitzed the visiting team early with 62 first half points and 98 through three quarters of play. However, Minnesota fought back in similar fashion as Wednesday’s game in the Twin Cities, firing back in the fourth quarter with a 12-2 start to the period. The Timberwolves jumped on top for their first lead of the game at the 6:20 mark of the final stanza, 102-101. A resilient New York group then outscored Minnesota 17-12 to complete the season series sweep and 118-114 win.
