The New York Knicks defeated the Memphis Grizzlies, 123-113, at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night.

The Knicks (33-18) came into the game as the biggest favorites of the night against the most injury-decimated team in the league in the Grizzlies (18-33), and they established their dominance in the first half by racking up 70 points. That netted New York a 24-point lead by halftime, and when Memphis only made a one-point dent in its deficit in the third quarter, the game was essentially decided. The visitors did make the final score more respectable with 39 points in the final 12 minutes and even got within four with just over two minutes remaining before a game-ending 10-4 run over the final 1:44 sealed the hosts' win.

Vince Williams Jr. led the Grizzlies with 19 points, adding five assists, three rebounds and one steal. GG Jackson furnished 16 points, five boards, one assist, two blocks and one steal. David Roddy supplied 15 points, three rebounds and three assists. Trey Jemison, Jacob Gilyard and Luke Kennard posted 12 points apiece while pulling down seven, three and three rebounds, respectively.
