Immanuel Quickley scored 22 points, including three critical second-half 3-pointers, as the host New York Knicks beat the reeling Houston Rockets 121-99 on Saturday.

Quickley, one of six Knicks to score in double figures, shot 7 for 9 from the floor and drilled four 3-pointers.

The Knicks widened their early lead to 17 points on two occasions in the second quarter, but Rockets guard John Wall almost single-handedly sliced that deficit to five points, keying a 10-1 run that cut the margin to 77-70 before adding a pair of free throws en route to 15 third-quarter points on 5-of-8 shooting.

Wall finished with a game-high 26 points while Eric Gordon chipped in 24 points for the Rockets, who made only 8 of 43 3-pointers while shooting 37.5 percent overall.
