Taurean Prince outdueled Julius Randle in a battle of performances that flirted with history, hitting all eight of his three-point shots and scoring the insurance basket with 10.4 seconds remaining as the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves edged the New York Knicks 140-134.
Prince racked up 35 points and finished one three-pointer shy of tying the NBA record for most three-pointers without a miss, held by Ben Gordon (twice) and Latrell Sprewell. Prince is just the seventh player to hit at least eight three-pointers without a miss.
The Timberwolves needed every bit of Prince's effort to overcome a 57-point performance by Randle, who posted the third-most points in a game in team history and finished five points shy of tying Carmelo Anthony's franchise mark that was set in 2014.
Mike Conley (24 points, 11 assists) had a double-double for the Timberwolves, who snapped a three-game losing streak. Jaden McDaniels scored 18 points while Rudy Gobert had 16. Jalen Brunson supplied 23 points for the Knicks.
