Before storming back, the Blazers allowed a 39-point third quarter and trailed 82-59 with 4:55 remaining after Grimes hit his fourth 3-pointer during New York's 29-8 burst.

Portland made a slight dent in the deficit and was within 92-77 entering the fourth.

After allowing Portland to score the game's first 12 points, Randle scored 10 points as the Knicks outscored the Blazers 21-8 the rest of the opening quarter for a 23-20 lead.

Walker scored nine points in the second and his 18-footer with 34.7 staked the Knicks to a 53-48 lead at halftime.
