The Knicks set a new season high with 28 assists tonight against the Timberwolves tonight in their return to The Garden. And while Carmelo Anthony would fall just one short of a triple-dpuble, the unselfishness and competitive spirit helped Derek Fisher's club withstand Minnesota's second-half run in a 107-102 win.
It was a night of gaudy numbers--Arron Afflalo exploded for 29 points, Kristaps Porzingis tied his season high with seven blocked shots, Anthony's all-around perfromance--but down the stretch, it was the "little" plays that sealed the victory.
New York shot 50 percent from downtown in the first half, opening up a 22-point lead in what looked like a potential blowout.
