NEW YORK (AP) — Donte DiVincenzo made a franchise-record 11 3-pointers and set a career-high 40 points, leading the New York Knicks to a 124-99 rout of Detroit on Monday night for their 15th straight victory. about the Pistons.
DiVincenzo broke the Knicks’ single-game record of 10, held by JR Smith and Evan Fournier, and moved into third in the league in 3-pointers made in the NBA this season. He could have had one more, but one of his three-point shots in the third quarter was reversed because before executing it he had stepped outside.
But the forward stayed in the beatdown long enough to set the record with 3:16 left, and shortly after retired to a standing ovation.
Jalen Brunson added 28 points and Josh Hart had 11 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists for his sixth triple-double of the season. The Knicks won for the sixth time in seven games and remain a half-game behind Cleveland for third place in the Eastern Conference.
Marcus Sasser scored 24 points for the Pistons, the worst team in the NBA, who lost for the seventh time in a row and left their record at 12-60. They were without their best player Cade Cunningham, along with Jalen Duren, Ausar Thompson, Simone Fontecchio and Isaiah Stewart due to injuries.
