PORTLAND, Ore. — — Immanuel Quickley scores 26 points and the New York Knicks mounted a rally in the third quarter to beat the Portland Trail Blazers 123-107 on Tuesday night.

Julius Randle added 24 points for the Knicks, who were still playing without injured guard Jalen Brunson.

Quickley scored 14 of his points in the third quarter and the Knicks outscored the Blazers 42-26 to lead 91-81 lead going into the final period.

The Knicks stretched the lead to 108-92 on former Blazer Josh Hart’s layup with 7:32 left in the game. New York led by as many as 19 points in the fourth.

Damian Lillard was questionable before the game with a calf injury, but he started for Portland and led all scorers with 38 points.

Jerami Grant also missed the game because of a hip contusion and Trendon Watford started for the Blazers instead.

The Knicks entered having lost three of their last four after a nine-game winning streak. Boosted by that streak, the Knicks moved into fifth place in the Eastern Conference and are 10 games back of leader Milwaukee.

Brunson, who was averaging nearly 24 points a game this season, continued to deal with a sore left foot that has kept him out of five of New York’s last six games.

The Blazers were just 3-7 over their previous 10 games to drop to 13th in the West. But, a cluster of teams vying for playoff spots in the conference meant that Portland still had a chance with 13 games to go after the loss to the Knicks.

Portland led by as many as 16 points in the first half and headed into halftime up 55-49 after Lillard’s 3 pointer. Lillard had 18 points at the break.
