Brunson dropped 17 of his 30 in the fourth quarter — 14 of the Knicks' final 16 points — to beat the Hawks 108-105 and snap Atlanta's 13-game home winning streak.

Jalen Brunson reminded everyone why he's one of the most clutch players in the league, scoring 17 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter as the New York Knicks beat the Atlanta Hawks 108-105 on Monday night. Brunson accounted for 14 of the Knicks' final 16 points and hit the go-ahead basket with 29.8 seconds left.

OG Anunoby added 22 points while Karl-Anthony Towns had 21 and 12 rebounds to help New York erase a 10-point third-quarter deficit. For Atlanta, Nickeil Alexander-Walker led the way with 36 points and seven threes, and Jalen Johnson added 21 and 11 rebounds.

The win snapped Atlanta's 13-game home winning streak and gave New York its 51st victory. The Hawks have now lost four times in 23 games since the All-Star break — but this one stings. These two teams could see each other again very soon in the playoffs.
