Josh Hart added 18 points for the Knicks, who controlled the second half and remained undefeated at home (5-0) at Madison Square Garden.
Anthony Edwards scored 15 points in 29 minutes after missing four games with a right hamstring strain, and the Timberwolves trailed by 25 points while he was on the court.
The All-Star running back couldn’t do much to keep the game close. The Knicks outplayed the Timberwolves in the battle under the baskets – they had 21 offensive rebounds, from which they scored 31 second-chance points, and outscored them 83:56 in the second half after trailing by four points at halftime.
Julius Randle scored 32 points and Donte DiVincenzo 21 in the hall that was their home before they were traded to Minnesota last season in the trade that brought Karl-Anthony Towns to New York. Towns finished the game with 15 points and ten rebounds.
Los Angeles Lakers basketball players achieved their seventh victory. At home, they beat the San Antonio Spurs with a score of 118:116, on the wings of Slovenian Luka Dončić, who led the team with 35 points, 13 assists and nine rebounds.

Center Deandre Ayton also played well with 22 points and ten rebounds, while defensive specialist Marcus Smart recorded 17 points, five rebounds and five assists. However, at the very end of the match, Smart made a big mistake during the take-out, which gave the guests the opportunity to win overtime or even victory.
The Lakers had a four-point lead 13 seconds before the end, but the guests from Texas almost equalized in the end. Kelly Olynyk reduced the score to 118:116, and Julian Champagnie missed both free throws 0.2 seconds before the end, so the victory still went to the home team.
The best in the ranks of the Spurs was the 224-centimeter-tall French center Victor Wembanyama with 19 points and eight rebounds.
