Mike Miller’s point-guard mission gives Dennis Smith new Knicks life

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Knicks’ point-guard trilogy will continue, says interim coach Mike Miller.

Though the Knicks posted their first victory in three weeks Wednesday in San Francisco against the Warriors with Dennis Smith Jr. missing the game with a migraine, Miller still planned to have the struggling Smith in the rotation as the Knicks faced the Kings on Friday at Golden 1 Center.

It has created a three-man logjam at point guard with Frank Ntilikina, Elfrid Payton, who had missed 17 games, and Smith.

Miller’s mission is being a “downhill’’ team and creating more points in the paint.
