Knicks outlast Pelicans in overtime for sixth win in a row

The Knicks extended their winning streak to six games Sunday with a 122-112 overtime win over the New Orleans Pelicans at Madison Square Garden.

Derrick Rose, who finished the game with 23 points and five assists, took over at the end of regulation to push the Knicks to the win. With his team trailing by six points with 1:48 left in the fourth quarter, Rose hit a three-pointer, found a wide-open Reggie Bullock for the game-tying three and then blocked what would have been a game-winning 17-footer by Eric Bledsoe at the buzzer.

Rose then scored the first bucket in overtime and the Knicks went on to outscore the Pelicans 19-9 in the overtime period.
