Guard Jalen Brunson took control in the final minutes on March 24, 2026, guiding the New York Knicks to a late-game win over the New Orleans Pelicans and extending the club’s unbeaten run to seven games.
The result tightens the Eastern Conference race, leaving New York closer to the first-place Boston Celtics as the regular season enters its stretch run.
Brunson’s decisive surge down the stretch proved the difference, capping a night in which New York relied on its floor general to fend off a determined Pelicans squad.
Tuesday’s outcome marks the Knicks’ seventh consecutive victory, their longest streak of the season, and offers further momentum as the team eyes playoff positioning.
