The New York Knicks rallied from a 21-point hole on Sunday, March 15, 2026, to beat a depleted Golden State Warriors team and stave off what would have been an embarrassing loss.
New York trailed by double digits deep into the game before tightening its defense and stringing together decisive scoring runs. The comeback wiped out the Warriors’ early dominance and shifted momentum permanently in the Knicks’ favor during the closing minutes.
Golden State entered the matchup missing several regulars, forcing head coach Steve Kerr to rely heavily on reserves. Despite the short rotation, the Warriors built a sizeable lead that stunned the Madison Square Garden crowd until the Knicks’ late surge.
The victory allows New York to maintain its place in the playoff race while handing Golden State another setback in a season defined by injuries and absences.
