Knicks edge Rockets 108-106 behind K. Towns's 25 points

The Knicks got the better of the Rockets at home, closing it out 108-106. A 18-point edge in the fourth quarter proved to be the difference.

K. Towns powered the win with 25 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assists, earning a 8.9 game grade. J. Smith Jr. kept the Rockets close with 21 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assists (8.4 grade), but it wasn't enough.
