The team dominated the last period with a score of 31-15, consolidating their third consecutive win, their best streak since the end of December.\n\n<h2>Brunson and Bridges Shine on Offense<\/h2>\n\nJalen Brunson led the Knicks&#8217; attack with 28 points, 11 of them scored in the last 3:48 of the game. Mikal Bridges contributed 18 units, while OG Anunoby added 15 points. Mitchell Robinson, from the bench, grabbed 13 rebounds.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DeRozan Shines Despite Kings&#8217; Defeat<\/h2>\n\n\nFor the Kings, DeMar DeRozan was the top scorer of the game with 34 points, although his performance did not prevent Sacramento&#8217;s sixth consecutive loss. Domantas Sabonis achieved a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds, in addition to seven assists, and Russell Westbrook contributed 14 units. Substitute Dylan Cardwell added 10 rebounds.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Match Full of Changes<\/h2>\n\n\nNew York started strong, closing the first quarter with a 36-26 lead. However, the game remained contested in the following two periods.\n\nDeRozan scored seven straight points to give Sacramento their only lead in the second quarter (51-50), before a basket by Towns, with 14 seconds remaining before halftime, put the Knicks back in the lead.\n\nThe third quarter was intense, with four lead changes and two ties, the last after a basket by Nique Clifford that tied the score at 72 with 36.8 seconds remaining.\n\nAt the start of the last quarter, a turnover caused by Landry Shamet resulted in Towns&#8217; three-pointer, initiating the definitive breakaway. Bridges completed an alley-oop after a pass from Josh Hart, and Towns scored again from long distance to extend the lead to 80-74, securing the victory.\n\nWith this triumph, the Knicks remain firm in the fight for the leadership of the Atlantic Division.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York &#8211; Karl-Anthony Towns shined once again for the Knicks, securing his 30th double-double of the season in the 103-87 victory over the Sacramento Kings at Madison Square Garden.
