The Knicks ( 12 - 14 ) defeated the Timberwolves ( 9 - 16 ) by a score of 107 - 102 at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday . Minnesota was able to cut New York 's lead to three with 11 seconds remaining , but too many fouls earlier on in the fourth quarter put the game out of reach . The Knicks last 13 points all came from the charity stripe as Carmelo Anthony had perhaps his most well - rounded game of the season , scoring 20 points ( 6 - 15 FG , 1 - 2 3Pt , 7 - 8 FT ) with 15 rebounds , nine assists and four turnovers . Melo was a perfect 6 - for - 6 on crucial free throws late in the game . Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio came a point and two steals away from making history . He finished the game with nine points on 3 - of - 10 shooting from the field , 12 assists , 10 rebounds and eight steals , but was unable to complete the illusive quadruple - double . Karl-Anthony Towns got the best of his rookie counterpart Kristaps Porzingus , scoring a team - high 25 points ( 11 - 21 FG , 2 - 4 3Pt , 1 - 1 FT ) while pulling down 10 rebounds for his 11th double - double of the season . Andrew Wiggins also chipped in 23 points . Overshadowed by Anthony 's big performance was Aaron Afflalo 's game - high 29 points ( 9 - 14 FG , 3 - 5 3Pt , 8 - 9 FT ) . Afflalo did most of his work in the low post surprisingly and he had no trouble making easy work of a soft T-Wolves defense . It was playing with the second unit off the bench that really sparked Afflalo towards his big night . The Knicks still need to stay more consistent on the offensive end and barely escaped with a victory after blowing a 20 - point lead at halftime .
