3 years agoNew York Knicks guard Alec Burks scored a game-high 20 points in 25 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 106-99 win over Houston, hitting a superb 6-for-7 from downtown. He finished with 6-for-8 overall shooting and went 2-for-2 at the line. The 30-year-old had a big game on the defensive end as well with a career-high tying five steals. He added five rebounds and three assists to his line with zero turnovers. Burks is well-known as a microwave scorer, and he's found his rhythm in recent outings, going for at least 14 points in four of the last five games. Of course, getting points against the miserable Rockets isn't a particularly hard task either. The next three matchups against Chicago, the Lakers and Phoenix will be much tougher for Burks and the Knicks.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
