Knicks Break Franchise 3-Point Record in Victory Over Grizzlies

In a thrilling display of basketball, the New York Knicks shattered their franchise record for 3-pointers during their decisive 133-120 victory against the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden. Underhead coach Mike Brown’s guidance, the Knicks focused on expanding their shooting range, demonstrating significant improvements with historic results.

Record-Breaking 3-Point Shooting

The Knicks managed to launch a staggering 55 three-point attempts, surpassing their previous record of 54 from the 2021 season. They converted 22 of those attempts, achieving an impressive shooting percentage of 40%. This performance is even more remarkable considering OG Anunoby struggled from beyond the arc, making just 1 of 10 attempts.

Key Performers

• Jalen Brunson emerged as a standout player, sinking 6 of 9 three-pointers, leading his team in long-range success.

"We’re emphasizing it, but the best thing right now is that a lot of them are good shots," Brunson commented post-game. "We need to keep generating them and creating advantages for each other."

Yabusele Steps Up

Despite earlier criticisms about his performance, Coach Brown demonstrated trust in Guerschon Yabusele by giving him significant playtime. Yabusele recorded 2 points and 6 rebounds while playing 15 minutes, with a notable contribution coming during the first half—the team’s critical phase of the game. According to Brown:

"Yabu played hard, and he’s gotta keep playing hard. He did a fantastic job setting the screen and creating separation."

Adjustment Without Mitchell Robinson

Mitchell Robinson was absent due to left ankle injury management, as the Knicks continue to monitor his health. In his place, Landry Shamet was brought into the starting lineup, with Anunoby shifting to power forward. Shamet contributed 10 points on 3-for-5 shooting from the field, showcasing the team’s depth.

Impact on the Game

• Robinson’s Absences: This marks the sixth game Robinson has missed out of 10 this season as the team carefully manages his recovery from prior surgery on the ankle that hindered him last season.

The Knicks snapped into action on their 2025-26 city edition court, donning specially designed jerseys in collaboration with fashion brand Kith for the first time this season. The vibrant jerseys added to the game’s energy, symbolizing a fresh start for the franchise.

Looking Ahead

With this win, the Knicks aim to maintain their momentum as they prepare to face the Orlando Magic in their next matchup. Fans are eager to see if the team can continue their impressive outside shooting and overall strong performance in the coming games, especially with the right adjustments and player rotations.
