Knicks get big effort from their stars, take down surging Trail Blazers

Jalen Brunson had 26 points and the New York Knicks snapped the Portland Trail Blazers' five-game winning streak with a 123-114 victory Sunday.

OG Anunoby added 24 points, Karl-Anthony Towns had 20 points and 11 rebounds and Mikal Bridges finished with 18 points, six assists and six rebounds. The Knicks had lost five of their previous six games.

Deni Avdija had 25 points for the Blazers but in the final moments he grabbed his back after going up for a rebound and headed for the locker room. The extent of the injury was not known.

The Knicks led by 10 points in the third quarter, but Portland tied it at 92 on a dunk from Robert Williams III early in the fourth and pulled in front on Avdija's floater and free throw.
