Guerschon Yabusele has not covered himself in glory in a Knicks uniform, and Mike Breen had to deal him the harsh truth.

The Hornets knocked down a franchise record 24 three-pointers in a 133-126 win over the Hawks. Jalen Johnson had 43 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists in that defeat. Luka Dončić had the game of the night, finishing with 45 points, 11 rebounds, 14 assists and five steals in a win over the Utah Jazz.

New York rallied from an 11-point second-half deficit to beat San Antonio 124-113 in the NBA Cup championship game. The Knicks outscored the Spurs 35-19 in the fourth quarter and held a 67-56 rebounding edge.

INDIANAPOLIS — It took a while, but the Knicks recovered from their NBA Cup hangover. The cure was — who else? — Captain Clutch. After struggling for much of the fourth quarter with his shots falling short, Brunson hit the biggest one of Thursday’s 114-113 victory over Pacers, when he nailed a trey over Andrew Nembhard.

The first words out of guard Jalen Brunson’s mouth when he was announced as the NBA Cup MVP on-court, postgame ceremony paid tribute to his team’s role players, specifically OG Anunoby, Tyler Kolek, Jordan Clarkson and Mitchell Robinson.
