Toney Douglas tied a franchise record by making nine of the New York Knicks’ franchise-record 20 3-pointers, scoring 29 points in a 120-99 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday night that snapped a three-game losing streak.
Carmelo Anthony scored 28 points and Chauncey Billups added 18 for the Knicks, who were 20 of 36 (55.6 percent) from behind the arc and moved back ahead of Philadelphia into sole possession of sixth place in the Eastern Conference.
Wearing green uniforms for St. Patrick’s Day, the Knicks looked much better than they did during their slide. Douglas’ sneakers were the wrong shade of green — sort of like the Hulk — but everything else was perfect.
Mike Conley scored 16 points for the Grizzlies.
