New York Knicks def. Portland Trail Blazers, 117-93
Despite a season-best performance from Carmelo Anthony, the Trail Blazers suffer their fifth straight loss. They have four more games remaining on this five-game Eastern Conference road trip.
On the other hand, this win means the Knicks record a season-high three wins in a row. They are now 6-6 under interim head coach Mike Miller.
Julius Randle (8 rebounds; 8-15 FG's) and Mitchell Robinson (11-11 FG's) top scored with 22 points apiece as the Knicks recorded their largest win of the season.
