The Phoenix Suns defeated the New York Knicks 106–99 on January 17 at Madison Square Garden, with Devin Booker leading the way on 27 points and Grayson Allen adding 16 in a balanced offensive attack. Phoenix's second quarter proved decisive, outscoring New York 36–29 to seize control, while the Suns' superior ball movement—22 assists to the Knicks' 20—created cleaner looks throughout. Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal McBride each scored 23 for New York, but the Knicks struggled to find rhythm offensively, shooting just 40.2 percent from the field and 14 three-pointers compared to Phoenix's 41.5 percent and 15 threes. New York's defense allowed a 114.1 offensive rating and committed 17 turnovers, undermining their defensive efforts. The final score landed well below the Vegas total of 224.5, reflecting a grind-it-out affair where Phoenix's turnover discipline—just 12 miscues—and +10 net rating advantage proved the margin. The loss leaves the Knicks searching for consistency in the Eastern Conference race.
