Another late lead slipped away from New Orleans on Sunday as the Pelicans dropped third straight game with a 122-112 overtime loss.
A handful of empty offensive possessions allowed the Knicks to crawl back into the game late and make it a one-possession lead for New Orleans with 7.8 seconds left. Lonzo Ball’s defensive miscue allowed New York to tie the game with 2.3 seconds left and eventually forced overtime.
In the extra sessions, the Knicks dominated to pull away quickly and never let the Pelicans back into the game, giving New York its second win over New Orleans in four days.
Zion Williamson had 34 points, nine rebounds and five assists in the loss while Eric Bledsoe had 22 points and Brandon Ingram 19.
