Knicks rally and seeding surge
The New York Knicks staged a 21-point comeback for their third straight win — Jalen Brunson led the charge — and the team sits at No. 3 in the East as the playoff race tightens game note analysis.
New York closed out a 110-107 victory on March 15, 2026 at Madison Square Garden with 19,812 in attendance (espn.com). Jalen Brunson finished with 30 points, nine assists and a perfect 10-for-10 mark from the free-throw line (nba.com). Josh Hart paced the frontcourt with 17 points, 12 rebounds and five assists, while Karl‑Anthony Towns posted 17 points and 12 rebounds as the Knicks recorded 51 total rebounds to Golden State’s 40 (nba.com). New York converted 22 of 23 free throws (95.7 percent) and attempted 32 three-pointers as a team, hitting 10 of them in the win (nba.com). Golden State dressed without Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and several regular rotation players — the official inactive list included Moses Moody, Al Horford, Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler III, Draymond Green and Seth Curry — forcing a patchwork lineup for the visitors (nba.com). The result improved New York’s record to 44-25, leaving them one game behind Boston in the Atlantic Division, and the Knicks return to Madison Square Garden on March 17, 2026 to host the Indiana Pacers at 7:30 p.m. ET (espn.com).
