ERIE’S outlash KNICKS, 113-106
WHITE PLAINS, NY – The visiting Erie BayHawks (3-4) displayed a dominant third quarter to overtake the Westchester Knicks (5-3), the official NBA G League affiliate of the New York Knicks, 113-106.

Erie responded with a 47-point third quarter performance, the most points scored in the window for a Knicks opponent this season. Conversely, Westchester’s 22-point third quarter performance tied its lowest since its season opener against Maine (11/2), which also resulted in a loss.

Trevon Bluiett showed promise in his third game back after nursing a lower back injury. The New Orleans Pelicans flex assignee contributed 20 points off the bench, his second consecutive game in double-figures.
Luke Kornet finished with 27 points on the night, his third game eclipsing the 20-point mark. John Jenkins scored 23, knocking down a trio of triples.
Kadeem Allen had a team-high eight dimes. Isaiah Hicks led the team on the boards with 11.
