Knicks use balanced attack to hammer Hornets as win streak hits four
NY Post
Less than one week earlier, the Knicks had allowed an undermanned Charlotte squad to hang around the entire game before Tom Thibodeau’s team escaped with a one-point victory.
The Hornets played them tough for two quarters despite missing several top players again Thursday night, but the Knicks pulled away with a 38-16 third-quarter eruption to cruise to their fourth straight win, 125-101, at the Garden.
“I think we put ourselves in a hole in the first quarter and then cut it to two obviously right before [halftime]. And then the beginning of the second half is how we should have started the game,” Jalen Brunson said. “We came out with a lot of energy defensively, got stops and easy baskets and that’s that.”
The All-Star point guard notably left the bench and headed for the locker room with 2:39 left in the third quarter.
