The New York Knicks edged the Golden State Warriors 110–107 on March 15 at Madison Square Garden in a defensive battle that fell short of the Vegas total of 218.5 points. Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 30 points, while Karl-Anthony Towns added 17 in a balanced offensive effort that shot 46.4 percent from the field and made 10 three-pointers. Golden State's Buddy Podziemski paced the Warriors with 25 points and Quentin Post contributed 22, but Golden State's 48.8 field-goal percentage and team-leading 14 made threes weren't enough to overcome a sluggish second quarter in which they scored just 19 points. New York's dominant third quarter—38 points—proved the decisive stretch, extending their lead while holding Golden State to 26 in that frame. The Knicks controlled the glass with 44 rebounds to Golden State's 35 and limited turnovers with 15 compared to the Warriors' 18, though Golden State's 27 assists showcased ball movement. New York's defensive rating of 111.9 held firm in the closing moments as the Warriors' comeback fell short. The victory strengthens the Knicks' playoff positioning in the Eastern Conference.
