They extended their winning streak to seven games after outlasting the New Orleans Pelicans in a 121-116 victory at Madison Square Garden in New York on Tuesday night. Jalen Brunson had a big performance for the Knicks, pacing his team with 32 points on 11-for-19 shooting, while dishing out seven assists to go along with a rebound in 39 minutes of action. His huge fourth-quarter performance helped New York repulse Zion Williamson and the Pels.

Brunson’s takeover did not surprise Josh Hart . “That’s the position I know he likes to be in,” Hart told reporters following the game, via Knicks Videos. “We want him in that position,” added Hart, who finished the game, who contributed 10 points on 3-for-8 shooting with eight rebounds and three assists in 38 minutes.

The Knicks know they can always count on Brunson to deliver when they need him in the clutch, and he proved that again by lighting up New Orleans. He went 4-for-5 from the field and drained all his seven attempts from the free throw line in the fourth period. Hart helped out too, scoring six of his total output in the final frame.
