Knicks beat Pelicans 128-106 beatdown

In order to set the stage for the halftime ceremony commemorating the 1973 team, their 73 points at the half fell four shy of a franchise record. Of course, the 3-point shot's arrival and focus have changed the game from 50 years ago. With 19 three-pointers on Saturday, the Knicks tied a season record and made the most of their opportunity, including a combined nine from Julius Randle and RJ Barrett. 

The resurgent Knicks (35-27) won their fifth game in a row to climb up to fifth place in the East, one half game behind the Nets. Randle (28 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists), Barrett (25 points, 7 assists), and Mitchell Robinson all contributed well to their success (11 points, 13 rebounds). Immanuel Quickley stole the ball in the fourth quarter, and he fired it off the backboard for Randle's soaring dunk.
