ERIE, PA - The Westchester Knicks, the official NBA G League affiliate of the New York Knicks, outscored the Erie BayHawks by 21 points in the second half and won by their largest margin of the season, 123-106, Saturday evening at Erie Insurance Arena. After enduring five straight losses, Westchester has now won three of its last four.

From the point until the first quarter concluded, the Knicks outscored the hosts 22-16 commanded by Lamar Peters (7 PTS) and White III (6 PTS) who credited more than half of the team's offensive output in the window. Peters lent three helpers in the opening quarter. He would end with four.

The second quarter saw a near even effort from both clubs as Erie scored 34 and Westchester posted 33 points. The two clubs would be separated by just four points at the break, 61-57.

Westchester shot 68.4-percent from the floor and 50-percent from distance while holding Erie to just 37-percent from the field. Moreover, Erie attempted 16 threes but only connected on five of them.

Perpetual offense kept the Knicks going in the fourth quarter. They tallied their highest lead all game, up 19 three times in the period, the final time with just 59 ticks remaining in the contest.

Peters paced the Knicks with 23 points off the bench. White III logged 20 points on 69.2-percent to go along with six boards and two assists.
