Knicks Dominate Grizzlies with Historic 3-Point Performance
On November 11, 2025, the New York Knicks achieved a record-breaking performance by defeating the Memphis Grizzlies 133-120 at Madison Square Garden. This remarkable victory was highlighted by the Knicks’ historic 3-point shooting.
Knicks Set Franchise Record for 3-Pointers
The Knicks launched an impressive 55 three-point attempts during the game, making 22 of them. This translates to an impressive shooting percentage of 40%. The previous record for three-point attempts in a single game was set at 54 in the 2021 season.
Key Players and Contributions
- Jalen Brunson: Lead scorer with 6-of-9 shooting beyond the arc.
- Guerschon Yabusele: Played 15 minutes, contributing 2 points and 6 rebounds.
- Landry Shamet: Had a strong performance with 10 points on 3-for-5 shooting.
Brunson emphasized the importance of generating quality shooting opportunities. “We’re emphasizing it, but the best thing right now is that a lot of them are good shots,” he remarked. His leadership was evident in the team’s approach to shooting during the game.
Coaching Decisions and Strategies
Head Coach Mike Brown has made a focused effort to encourage more three-point attempts. His strategy included increasing Yabusele’s playtime, providing him with significant responsibilities despite early-season challenges.
In a notable shift, Brown replaced Mitchell Robinson, who was sidelined due to left ankle management, with Shamet in the starting lineup. Anunoby was moved to power forward to accommodate this change. Robinson’s absence has been a recurring theme, as he has missed six of the Knicks’ first ten games this season due to ongoing recovery from previous surgery.
Visual Identity and Game Atmosphere
For this match, the Knicks donned their 2025-26 city edition jerseys, collaborating with fashion brand Kith, marking their debut this season. Playing on their new court design added to the atmosphere, enhancing the excitement of this historic night.
