Knicks blow big lead, waste Jalen Brunson’s career night

Jalen Brunson had a career night, but Jrue Holiday had the last laugh.

Firing blanks and on a fouling spree early on, Holiday came alive down the stretch and hit the big shots that propelled the Milwaukee Bucks’ come-from-behind 111-107 win over the New York Knicks Monday night at Madison Square Garden.

Brunson scored a career-high 44 points, but it was not enough as the Knicks’ four-game winning streak got snapped. Holiday dropped 10 of his 15 points in the fourth quarter, eight in the final 2:23 as the Bucks took the lead for good.
