The host Golden State Warriors easily defeated the visiting New York Knicks on Thursday, 103 - 90. The Warriors (23 - 4) hold the league's top record through 27 games now for the third straight season. It was a low - scoring night on Thursday for the league's top offense, but the Warriors still had no problem getting the win, outscoring the Knicks by 14 in the first half and holding on in the second. Golden State oddly got to the free - throw line only eight times on the night and made just half of their attempts. It was a dismal night from the line for both teams, as New York went 9 - of - 19 on free - throws as well. Aside from the line, though, Golden State shot well, hitting 46 percent of its attempts. Shooting guard Klay Thompson led the team with 25 points and had four three - pointers. It was a monster rebounding night for the Warriors, as they pulled down 57 boards. Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, and Draymond Green all pulled down double - digits in the rebounding column. For the Knicks (14 - 12), forward Carmelo Anthony (shoulder) and guard Derrick Rose (knee) found themselves injured at an inopportune time. The Knicks' offense needed all the help it could get, as no starter scored more than 10 points. The team hit only 40 percent of its shots and had just five three - pointers. Sophomore star Kristaps Porzingis had an off night, scoring only eight points on 4 - of - 13 shooting to go with five rebounds. Bench guard Justin Holiday led the team with 15 points and also had an impressive five steals. The Warriors will host the Trail Blazers on Saturday, while the Knicks will visit Denver to take on the Nuggets.
