5 Things To Know:

1. The Knicks withstood a furious comeback from the Timberwolves in a nail-bitter on Wednesday night in Minnesota. New York’s 17-point lead evaporated in the final quarter and Minnesota tied the contest with 24 seconds on the game clock. Once again, Carmelo Anthony delivered in the clutch with a quick pump fake, jab-step, and high-rising midrange jumper over the outstretched arms of Andrew Wiggins with two seconds remaining in the contest. The game-winner lifted the Knicks to a much needed 106-104 road win to improve their overall record to 9-9 while Minnesota dropped to 5-13.
