Brunson Scores 17 in the 4th, Knicks Snap Hawks' 13-Game Home Streak

Jalen Brunson did what Jalen Brunson does. Down the stretch, with the game on the line, the Knicks guard turned into a one-man offense. 17 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter. 14 of the Knicks' final 16 points. The go-ahead bucket with 29.8 seconds left.

New York overcame a 10-point third-quarter deficit in Atlanta, with Brunson, OG Anunoby (22 points), and Karl-Anthony Towns (21 points, 12 boards) doing the heavy lifting. Brunson then denied CJ McCollum a tying three at the buzzer. Final: Knicks 108, Hawks 105.

The win snapped Atlanta's 13-game home winning streak and gave the Knicks their 10th win in 13 games. At 51-28, New York is surging into the playoffs with legitimate title energy — and Brunson is the reason why.
