Golden State Warriors vs New York Knicks Game Player Stats and Box Scores for February 29, 2024 

The Golden State Warriors made their first and only trip of the season to MSG to face the New York Knicks on Thursday. The Warriors started the game hot, going on a 14-0 run as the Knicks missed their first nine shots. Steph Curry was the key architect of that start. He had four 3-pointers by halftime already as Golden State took a 55-46 lead.

New York's offensive woes continued for nearly the entire half with the team missing key players. They don't have many self-creating scorers other than Jalen Brunson, which has proved to be an issue. Their frontcourt, in particular, has been underwhelming.

The Knicks shot only 33.3 % from the floor, going 6-of-19 from 3. The Warriors, meanwhile, shot 44.9% and went 8-of-22 from 3. The disparity swung the tie in Golden State's favor by halftime.

Golden State Warriors fend off late run from New York Knicks to win 110-99

Just when it seemed like the Golden State Warriors nearly blew another double-digit, they dug deep into their offense to ensure the New York Knicks didn't have a shot at a comeback, despite trimming the lead to single digits in the fourth quarter.

It was a close second half as the teams were separated by only two points. The Warriors' 31-19 first-quarter advantage came to their aid in that situation as the Knicks ran out of steam in their bid to come back into the contest.

Golden State improved to 31-27 on the season, while the Knicks dropped to 35-25.
