What if I said a 64-year-old woman has spent most her nights in the cellars of Midwest NBA arenas for 40 years, providing baked goods & motherly love to all your favorite players. Nah, right? Well, meet one of the NBA's best-kept secrets, the 'Cookie Mom' https://t.co/9sqAx3fNs0

Just how did a woman from Cleveland become a part of the NBA's fraternity? By proving the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

The Knicks are generating second-chance opportunities, and it's been a team effort. They lead the NBA with 15.3 offensive rebounds per game.

This is a story about OG Anunoby, the shooter. On a shooter shooting more and finding his quick release in a system that pushes you to do so: https://t.co/v44xc3f9Ch

Anunoby is letting the 3-ball fly with confidence this season. He and the Knicks are benefitting immensely.

Brown is clearing the bench with 3:18 left. Best win of the season for the Knicks. The 3-point defense was really the only gripe you could have. Everything else was good to great.

A dominant second half from the Knicks. They're up 20 with 5:28 left. Nearly every player who has played has done something Eight of the 10 who have played have scored 8 points or more.

Jalen Brunson has seven minutes to get an assist and three rebounds to complete a triple-double. He's never had one in his NBA career.

McBride and OG Anunoby have done a lot of everything tonight.

Offensive rebounding is the Knicks' best offensive weapon. So good at it and getting it from a lot of guys.

END OF 3Q: Knicks 94, Timberwolves 86. Really good quarter for New York. Brunson was great. Hart, Robinson and Anunoby, too. Knicks need to clean up the defense to close this out. Just too many good looks for Minnesota. But the New York offense is in a good place for most part

Julius Randle can't shake Mitchell Robinson right now. He's blocking everything.

Jalen Brunson is quietly on triple-double watch: 12 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds

Hart is getting hard close-outs on him after making three 3s in the first half. It's opened up the drive-and-kick.

Knicks came into this game with opponents shooting 37.5 percent from 3 against them, which is the fourth-worst mark in the league. New York's defense also gave up the fourth most 3s (by frequency) in the NBA.
Knicks aren't defending the 3-point line well. A nice lead has quickly evaporated.

Robinson with back-to-back offensive rebounds to help New York take a 28-26 lead into the second quarter. Bumpy start to the game but the defense picked up and ball movement led to better shots.
