The Pelicans three game win streak is over.
Former Pelicans forward Julius Randle scored 32 points, and the Knicks made 17 three pointers on the way to a 116-106 win over the Pelicans Wednesday night at the Smoothie King Center.
New Orleans got 25 points from Zion Williamson. He also had 8 rebounds, and 7 assists.
But, the gap at the three point line too much to overcome, said Pelicans head coach Stan Van Gundy.
The Knicks moved to 29-27 on the season. The Pelicans are 25-30 on the season.
