You can’t argue with the numbers. Jalen Brunson’s latest clutch-time performance Wednesday night bailed the Knicks out of what would have been one of their ugliest losses of the season. Instead, the captain’s 12 points over the final five minutes of the fourth quarter — including a go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:26 to play — lifted the Knicks to a needed victory after they had coughed up a 19-point lead to a Sixers squad that now has lost nine games in a row without injured star Joel Embiid.

Following their latest deflating losses to Eastern Conference powerhouses Cleveland and Boston over the weekend, however, the Knicks had all they could handle with the reeling 76ers before pulling out a sloppy 110-105 victory Wednesday night at the Garden.
