Brunson's 17-Point Fourth Quarter Sinks Hawks, Snaps 13-Game Home Streak

Jalen Brunson reminded everyone why the Knicks gave him the keys. Down by 10 in the third quarter in Atlanta, Brunson took over — scoring 17 of his 30 points in the fourth, going 6-of-10 from the field, and hitting the tiebreaking 19-footer with 29.8 seconds left.

Knicks 108, Hawks 105. New York snapped Atlanta's 13-game home winning streak and moved to 51-28 on the season. Brunson had 14 of the Knicks' final 16 points. OG Anunoby added 22, Karl-Anthony Towns had 21 and 12 boards.

That's 10 wins in 13 games heading into the final week of the regular season. The Knicks are rolling at exactly the right time. If Brunson keeps playing like this in the postseason, New York is going to be a problem for everyone in the East.
