The Knicks didn't have much to play for on Wednesday night, with the team locked into the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference, but that didn't stop their trio of youngsters from making league history.
Quentin Grimes, Immanuel Quickley, and Obi Toppin each showed out for New York in Wednesday's win over the Pacers, with Quickley pouring in 39 points, Grimes adding 36, and Toppin pitching in 32, as all three were in the starting lineup with the Knicks resting up before the playoffs.
Each of the trio also hit at least five 3-pointers, with Toppin and Grimes knocking down five triples while Quickley buried seven.
According to ESPN, the three became the first trio in NBA history to score at least 30 points and hit at least five 3-pointers in the same game.
Toppin has been seeing more playing time with Julius Randle nursing a sprained ankle, and will likely see more minutes down the stretch as the Knicks await word on Randle's availability for the first round. Meanwhile, Grimes and Quickley have long since asserted themselves in Tom Thibodeau's rotation, with Grimes a fixture in the starting lineup and Quickly bidding for the Sixth Man of the Year award.
