The New York Knicks will welcome the Denver Nuggets to Madison Square Garden for an NBA game on Saturday. The New York Knicks won 107-123 in their last game over the Trailblazers. Immanuel Quickley had 26 points and 10 rebounds, and the New York Knicks mounted a rally in the third quarter to beat the Portland Trail Blazers 123-107 on Tuesday night.
Julius Randle added 24 points for the Knicks, who were still playing without injured guard Jalen Brunson. Quickley scored 14 points in the third quarter and the Knicks outscored the Blazers 42-26 to lead 91-81 lead going into the final period. New York stretched the lead to 108-92 on former Blazer Josh Hart’s layup with 7:32 left in the game.
The Knicks led by as many as 19 points in the fourth. “This team was trending upwards when I got here, and I was able to just kind of fit right in and continue to help this team grow,” said Hart, who was traded to the Knicks at the deadline last month. “I think that’s the biggest thing. It feels great that we’re getting the wins.”
The Denver Nuggets on the other hand won 100-119 against the Pistons in their last game. The Denver Nuggets have been so dominant this season that they’ve clinched the Northwest Division with a few weeks left in the regular season. Nikola Jokic deferred to teammates early before looking for his shot and finished with 30 points to help the Nuggets beat the Detroit Pistons 119-100 on Thursday night and end a season-high four-game losing streak.
“This has to be a building block,” Denver coach Michael Malone said. “I told our team, it’s a good win. Clinched a playoff spot. Won your division. That’s great. Let this be the start of something special. We lost four in a row, lowest of the low for us during this season. Now, let’s get back to playing and go on a run.” Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 20 points, Jamal Murray had 19 and Aaron Gordon 15 for the Western Conference-leading Nuggets.
