""We find a way to win," Brunson said. "I think we have a growing confidence as a team, not necessarily just in fourth quarters. We understand how we started was unacceptable. And we got to figure out how to win a game from where we were. So we got a lot of confidence in each other. But we got to start better. And we've got to play better honestly throughout the whole game. But we found a way to win.""
"The Knicks trailed by double-figures in the third quarter, but hung around with McBride draining a three to tie the score, and finally, with 7:41 to play, Karl-Anthony Towns gave the Knicks the lead with a second-chance three-point field goal. The teams went back and forth and then when the Pelicans lost the ball out of bounds, a long delay ensued with a clock issue."
The New York Knicks, shorthanded on a road trip, rallied to a 130-125 win over the New Orleans Pelicans after trailing by double figures in the third quarter. Jalen Brunson led the team with 28 points, scoring 10 in the final six minutes. Deuce McBride returned from a long absence and scored 14 points, 12 in the fourth, including four free throws in the final 16 seconds. Rookie Mo Diawara provided an early offensive boost. A replay challenge after a clock issue briefly returned possession to New Orleans before the Knicks pulled ahead down the stretch.
