NBA roundup: Thompson sets trey record

Knicks Nice win over Dallas

Kristaps Porzingis talking like he’s closing in on Knicks return

Frank is in the tank, and Knicks coach David Fizdale may make another move at point guard.

Starter Frank Ntilikina was benched after the game’s first 5 minutes, 45 seconds Sunday, never seeing the court again in the 115-89 humiliation by Orlando as Trey Burke started the second half.

After playing poorly on offense in five of the previous six games, Ntilikina’s start against the Magic put Fizdale over the edge.

The 6-foot-7 Frenchman was 0-for-3 with two turnovers, including an unnecessary offensive foul as he tried to back in D.J. Augustin when he could have easily just shot over the 6-0 defender. Ntilikina got the hook after throwing the ball away with the Knicks down 14-2. He also had trouble chasing the quick Augustin on defense.

LeBron James passed Wilt Chamberlain -- another all-time great who joined the Los Angeles Lakers in the latter stages of his career -- for fifth place on the NBA's all-time scoring list Wednesday night against the Portland Trail Blazers.

James tied Chamberlain on an and-1 runner with 3:55 left in the fourth quarter and passed him on the ensuing free throw. James finished the game with 44 points -- his first 40-point game of the season and the most by a Laker since Kobe Bryant scored 60 in his career finale -- and he now has 31,425 points for his career. James added 10 rebounds and 9 assists in Los Angeles' 126-117 win at Staples Center.
