Coming off of a heartbreaking loss on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets, the Knicks looked to get back in the win column against a Portland Trail Blazers team that came into the game 3-7 in their last 10 games. Of course, this game could easily have been a trap game as the Knicks have struggled to capitalize against beatable opponents. It was just about a month ago that the Knicks lost against them in Portland.
The Knicks must have gotten the memo, because they came out firing on all cylinders offensively in the first quarter, cruising to 37 points.
