Suns’ ‘Big Three’ aims for better result against Knicks

The first outing for Phoenix’s “Big Three” resulted in a lack of cohesiveness and a disappointing loss. Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal will look for a reversal on both fronts when the Suns host the New York Knicks on Friday night. The trio combined for 75 points in Wednesday night’s 116-112 home setback to the Brooklyn Nets in their much-anticipated first game together.

Banged-up teams collide when Jazz, Knicks meet

Knicks seek to shore up defense against struggling Raptors

The Toronto Raptors aim to build on an impressive win over the surging Phoenix Suns when they continue their three-game homestand Friday night against the New York Knicks.

Knicks look to hand Pistons 16th straight setback

The Detroit Pistons get their latest attempt to end a miserable run on Thursday when they face the New York Knicks, who will close out a four-game homestand. Detroit, which will be playing the second leg of a back-to-back set, took its 15th consecutive loss on Wednesday, a 133-107 decision against the visiting Los Angeles Lakers.
