RJ Barrett, returning from a two-game absence caused by a sore left knee, scored 11 points during a fourth-quarter surge as the host New York Knicks broke open a tie game and cruised to a 111–97 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday, Nov. 6.

The Knicks outscored the Clippers 35–21 in the fourth quarter and 69–51 in the second half, spoiling the debut of new Los Angeles acquisition James Harden.
