The Knicks recorded 37 assists, and 145 points marking the most points the Knicks have scored in four quarters since Nov. 1980.

With the Cleveland Cavaliers’ loss to the Charlotte Hornets, the Knicks are now in sole possession of the Eastern Conference’s third seed.

The Bucks lost to the Lakers (without Lebron James) on Tuesday. The Knicks are now just two games behind second place in the Eastern Conference.

And they’ve done it without their entire starting frontcourt.

Former starting center Mitchell Robinson returned to the rotation after surgery on his left ankle kept him out of the lineup since Dec. 8.
