Brunson scores 32 points, Knicks win 6th straight and send Heat to 6th loss in a row, 125-109

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Rolling since they got OG Anunoby, the New York Knicks might have to keep it up without Julius Randle. Jalen Brunson had 32 points and eight assists and the Knicks beat Miami 125-109 on Saturday, winning their sixth straight and sending the Heat to a sixth consecutive loss. “He’s a warrior and so any time someone walks back, you know it’s something.” Shortly before that, Brunson helped the Knicks break it open for good with a 13-3 spurt to open the fourth quarter. “So for him to go back there obviously it’s not ideal, but like I said, once we figure out what’s wrong we’ll go from there.” Jimmy Butler scored 28 points for the Heat, who got Jaquez back after a six-game absence because of a groin injury, but were outscored 36-23 in the fourth quarter. “Our turnovers for the game were OK, but it felt like we had probably four or five big ones in that fourth quarter and then defensively I don’t remember us getting a stop,” Spoelstra said.
