Jennings stunts on Lakers during electric 4th quarter

Derrick Rose and Kristaps Porzingis stole the spotlight for much of the New York Knicks' win Sunday night - Rose shot 12-of-16 in his return from a back injury, while Porzingis became just the third player ever to block seven shots and hit three 3-pointers in the same game - but for one scintillating stretch in the fourth quarter, it was the Brandon Jennings show.

After the Los Angeles Lakers had clawed their way back from an 11-point deficit to take the lead, Jennings took the game over, starting with back-to-back triples off the bounce that put the Knicks back in the driver's seat.

The very next play, on a fast break following one of Porzingis' seven blocks, Jennings made this (unnecessarily) stylish pass to Courtney Lee for an and-1 layup.

Jennings, as is his custom, was feeling himself.

Jennings finished with 15 points and two dimes in the fourth quarter, and after that surge, the Knicks never trailed again.
