On February 6, Beijing time, the New York Knicks challenged the Los Angeles Lakers away. In the first half, the Knicks led the Lakers 71-56, and at the same time, the US media counted a number of miracles about the Knicks.
First, the Knicks fired down 42 points, which was also a new single-quarter scoring record for the team this season (previously the highest scored in the third quarter against the Green Army on December 18), and the Knicks led the Lakers by 13 points 42-29 after the first quarter.
Second, Fournier shot 2-of-2 from beyond the three-point line in the first quarter, making Fournier hit 21 of the last 38 three-point shots and shooting 55 percent.
Third, Randle scored 20 points, 7 boards, 6 assists and 1 cap at half-time, and he also became the first Knicks player since Marbury in 2005 to score at least 20 points, 5 boards and 5 assists in the half. As early as April 7, 2005, in the Knicks' game against the Nets, Marbury had 21 points, five rebounds and seven assists in the halftime.
Fourth, according to statistics, Barrett scored 21 points in the first half and Randle scored 20 points, so that this is the first time since the Knicks have scored 20+ in the first half since January 27, 2003 (Colt Thomas 22 points, Spreeville 20 points) against the Suns.
Therefore, in the first half, the Lakers' performance is really difficult to say, but in the second half, the Lakers played a wave of 22-8 attacks, and the two sides are currently only one point apart.
