Brandon Jennings suddenly a fan favorite after bizarre faceoff: Lance Thomas won the game with two last-second free throws, but the Knicks feisty new point guard, Brandon Jennings, won the crowd. With Carmelo Anthony (19 points) and Kristaps Porzingis (15 points) leading the way, the Knicks beat the Wizards 90-88 in a preseason game Monday at the Garden as Thomas drew a foul with 0.2 seconds left and sank a pair from the foul line. But Jennings, starting for the missing Derrick Rose, got the loudest support from the crowd, finishing with 11 points, hitting a trio of 3-pointers and energizing the crowd after a bizarre dustup with Washington’s Casper Ware.
