Brandon Jennings blazed down the Garden floor against the Trail Blazers, leading the Knicks on a fast break. Then he cut off the dribble at the foul line and fed Mindaugas Kuzminskas for the two-point prize inside.
This was the second quarter Tuesday night and the Knicks’ backup point guard was leaving his imprint, showing off his playmaking side, his defensive side and his fiery side, lighting a spark for the home team.
When the game was done, Jennings had just four points but they went with 11 assists, no turnovers and a 107-103 Knicks victory that brought them to 7-7.
