The New York Knicks defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 133–120 on November 11 at Madison Square Garden, with Jalen Brunson leading the way on 32 points and Mikal Bridges adding 22 in a balanced offensive attack. New York's three-point shooting proved decisive, draining 22 from beyond the arc while shooting 48% overall, establishing a 120.0 offensive rating that overwhelmed Memphis's 107.6. The Knicks dominated the second quarter, outscoring Memphis 35–24 to seize control, and their defense held firm with a 107.6 rating despite allowing the Grizzlies to shoot 51.2%. Memphis's Jaren Jackson Jr. and Santi Aldama each scored 19 points, but the Grizzlies' 22 turnovers—eight more than New York's 14—proved costly in a game where both teams grabbed 44 rebounds and Memphis actually distributed 36 assists to the Knicks' 35. New York's third-quarter execution (37 points) further widened the margin before a quiet fourth quarter. The victory underscores the Knicks' depth and perimeter efficiency as they continue building momentum in the Eastern Conference.
