"Ugly game, Knicks head coach Mike Brown said with a chuckle following the win. New York and Sacramento were even, 72-72, heading into the fourth quarter before the Knicks seized control of the contest. We scored 103 points, Brown added. We had 21 turnovers. We didn't do a good job of taking care of the basketball."
"You're not going to stop a guy like DeMar, but, hopefully try to slow him down a little bit, Brown stated during his six-minute chat with the media. I thought Mikal [Bridges] was really good with his physicality and not fouling while he was being physical. Mikal made him work for every shot that he attempted in that fourth quarter."
"Jalen Brunson led the Knicks in scoring with 28 points, while Karl-Anthony Towns collected his 30th double-double of the season behind 17 points and 11 rebounds. New York's big man is tied for the league lead in the category alongside Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson."
The New York Knicks rallied with a 31-point fourth quarter to defeat the Sacramento Kings 103-97, improving to 28-18 and moving into second in the Atlantic Division. Jalen Brunson led New York with 28 points. Karl-Anthony Towns posted his 30th double-double of the season with 17 points and 11 rebounds, tying for the league lead in double-doubles. DeMar DeRozan scored 34 points for Sacramento. The Knicks committed 21 turnovers but tightened defense in the fourth quarter, with Mikal Bridges contributing 18 points, three rebounds and five assists. New York travels to face the Toronto Raptors next.
