OG Anunoby’s fourth 3-pointer of the night and a free throw 64 seconds later drew the Knicks within 94-93. Then Santos, part of a late-game, multi-player substitution that also saw Curry re-enter the game, bottomed a 27-footer with 6:24 to go to get the Warriors rolling.

Curry drilled a 25-footer a minute later, Moses Moody converted a layup, Butler hit a free throw and Kevon Looney turned a Curry assist into a dunk, completing an 11-0 flurry that left the Knicks in a 105-93 hole with 2:39 to play.
