Jalen Brunson scored 35 points and handed out 11 assists as the host New York Knicks erased a 21-point deficit and pulled away for a 120-109 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night.
The Knicks snapped a three-game losing streak and moved 2 1/2 games ahead of the sixth-place Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference standings. New York has the same record as the fourth-place Orlando Magic but would lose the head-to-head tiebreaker.After learning Julius Randle would be out for the season due to a shoulder injury that he sustained Jan. 27, the Knicks trailed by 21 early in the second quarter before gradually rallying and outscoring Sacramento 33-22 in the fourth.
Fox made three 3-pointers and scored 11 points as the Kings shot a scorching 66.7 percent on field-goal attempts and 70 percent from distance to hold a 35-20 lead after the opening quarter.Fox's fourth 3 extended the lead to 46-25 a little over three minutes into the second, but Brunson scored eight points in a 16-2 run to make it a 48-41 deficit with 4:01 left. The Knicks trailed 60-52 at halftime after Brunson hit a contested 3 right before the horn.
