Panzura postgame wrap: Pelicans 102, Knicks 91

Jose Alvarado ran back to the defensive end, barking at a fan in the celebrity-laden crowd in his hometown. Meanwhile, New Orleans teammates Jonas Valanciunas, Jaxson Hayes and Josh Hart overwhelmed New York at the rim, while the Pelicans swarmed the Knicks all game defensively.

A tenacious performance by New Orleans led to a often-dominant victory by the visitors in Madison Square Garden, putting the Pelicans in the win column to close a three-game Atlantic Division road trip. New Orleans went up by 20-plus points in the second half, then held off a late run by New York.
