New York Knicks vs Golden State Warriors Game Player Stats and Box Scores for March 18, 2024

The injury-hampered New York Knicks traveled to the Bay Area to take on the Golden State Warriors on Monday. Already without Mitchell Robinson and Julius Randle, they again lost O.G. Anunoby after the forward's elbow injury flared up. They would have to beat the hosts minus three of their best players.

Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau inserted Miles McBride in the starting lineup without Anunoby. He joined Jalen Brunson, Donte DiVincenzo, Josh Hart and Isaiah Hartenstein as Thibodeau's choice to open the game. The ultra-small starting five turned out to be right as McBride dazzled for 11 first-quarter points to help New York grab a 30-22 lead.

The New York Knicks threatened to run away from the Golden State Warriors on a few occasions in the second quarter. Brunson joined McBride in the scoring spree while DiVincenzo and Hartenstein made their presence felt.

Jonathan Kuminga and Steph Curry, however, helped keep the Knicks within striking distance. They made timely baskets when the visitors looked like they were pulling away. Chris Paul came off the bench to add 12 points along with several heady plays.

Golden State moved a little closer as the first half ended 62-56 in New York's favor.

McBride's pace in scoring fizzled a bit but Brunson surged for the New York Knicks starting the second half. The lefty guard had several connected on several baskets and often acted as a decoy to the Golden State Warriors' defense. He and McBride took turns creating chaos and causing havoc against Steve Kerr's game plan on defense.

Klay Thompson and Trayce Jackson-Davis boosted the Warriors' offense during the same period. Steph Curry didn't shoot well but the Knicks' defense also had to be credited for making it tough for him to score. The third period ended with New York still up 99-88.

The fourth quarter was more of the same Miles McBride-Jalen Brunson show. Donte DiVincenzo and Josh Hart also made their presence felt on both ends of the floor. Hart eventually finished with 10 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists.

The New York Knicks had enough to thwart every rally mounted by the Golden State Warriors and walked away with a 119-112 victory.
