OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns were having bigger nights scoring-wise at the time, but with the game in the balance, the Knicks went to old reliable Jalen Brunson. And he delivered a late-game takeover. How often have we seen this script? Brunson scored 10 straight Knicks points — and 15 of their last 18 — late in the fourth quarter, carrying the Knicks in crunch time en route to a 121-116 win over the Pelicans on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.
