5 Things To Know:

1. New York’s second straight win was sparked by the play of Kyle O’Quinn. The New York native scored 20 points on 9-of-11 shooting from the floor and hauled down seven of his 13 boards on the offensive glass while filling in for Joakim Noah in the starting lineup. O’Quinn’s monster performance, Carmelo Anthony’s 29 points, and Derrick Rose’s 24 was the difference in another narrow victory over the Timberwolves. At one point during the third quarter, the Knicks offensive rating reached 131 and the home team compiled 98 points through three periods of action.
