In the window, the Skyforce shot 70.6-percent from the field which included a 54.5-percent clip from three-point territory. The Knicks sank just 34.6-percent of their looks and 16.7-percent of them from the perimeter.

Billy Garrett had 22 points and tied a season-high three triples, while also dishing a team-high five helpers. Zak Irvin hauled a game-high 15 rebounds, including five on the offensive glass.

Four Sioux Falls starters credited 20-point performances-Raphiael Putney (29), Rodney Purvis (26), Duncan Robinson (22) and Charles Cooke (20). Bubu Palo and Purvis led on the night with seven assists apiece.
