Prince hits 8-of-8 triples as Wolves edge Knicks

MANILA, Philippines — Taurean Prince outdueled Julius Randle in a battle of performances that flirted with history Monday night, hitting all eight of his three-point shots and scoring the insurance basket with 10.4 seconds remaining as the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves edged the New York Knicks, 140-134.

Prince racked up 35 points and finished one three-pointer shy of tying the NBA record for most three-pointers without a miss, held by Ben Gordon (twice) and Latrell Sprewell. Prince is just the seventh player to hit at least eight three-pointers without a miss.

The Timberwolves needed every bit of Prince’s effort to overcome a 57-point performance by Randle, who tied Richie Guerin (Dec. 11, 1959, against the Syracuse Nationals) for the third-most points in a game in team history and finished five points shy of tying Carmelo Anthony’s franchise mark, set Jan. 24, 2014, against the Charlotte Hornets.

Bulls 109, 76ers 105 (2OT)

Zach LaVine scored 26 points, DeMar DeRozan added 25 and Chicago outlasted host Philadelphia 76ers.

DeRozan hit consecutive shots to tie the game before LaVine and Coby White sealed the victory with two free throws apiece in the final 51.4 seconds of the second overtime. Joel Embiid had 37 points, 16 rebounds and three blocked shots for the Sixers.
