However, the biggest revelation in the Knicks’ win is Miles McBride, who dropped a career-high 29 points built on six triples while playing 47 minutes and being the primary defender to Steph Curry.

Inserted to the starting line-up for the injured OG Anunoby and to keep up with the Warriors’ small ball, McBride came up with the best game of his pro career, hitting a clutch three that put the nailed to the coffin on the Warriors’ last-ditch rally in the fourth, 111-99.

Brunson’s college teammates, Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo also had stellar games.
Hart collected his fifth triple-double of the season with a 10-11-11 statline, while playing the whole game and DiVincenzo added 18.
Isaiah Hartenstein needed only 25 minutes to log a double-double behind a 11-point, 10-rebound game.
The Knicks raced out to an 18-4 lead early in the game and never trailed as they earned just their fifth win in their last 19 meetings against the Warriors.
Steph Curry led the way for Golden State with 27 points, five rebounds and five assists while Jonathan Kuminga added 16 points.

Chris Paul, Klay Thompson, and Trayce Jackson-Davis combined for 51 points off the bench but it wasn't enough to stop New York’s younger perimeter scorers.
Up next for New York, who is currently sitting in fourth in the East, are the defending champion Denver Nuggets in their final game of a four-game road trip.
Meanwhile, Golden State slid back to the 10th spot in the West behind a 35-32 slate.
