The Knicks looked like themselves again on Wednesday night, beating the Los Angeles Clippers, 123-111, to snap their four-game losing streak.

-- Looking to shake things up after a season-low 90 points on Monday night, Mike Brown inserted Miles McBride into the starting lineup in place of Mitchell Robinson. However, McBride and the Knicks started out slow, as he missed his first two three-point attempts and the team found themselves down 7-0. The Clippers grew their early lead to 14-5, forcing a Knicks timeout about four minutes into the first quarter.

The group woke up out of the timeout -- Mikal Bridges drilled a three, OG Anunoby got a dunk, and McBride hit his first three-pointer to cut the lead to one point. Jordan Clarkson and Jalen Brunson then hit their first threes of the game to put NY ahead briefly before veteran big man Brook Lopez made a three of his own to make it a 22-21 game.

-- James Harden nailed back-to-back three-pointers and was fouled on another attempt with the clock winding down, making all three free throws to put LA up 31-27 after the first quarter. He led all scorers with nine points after one, while Brunson and Anunoby had seven apiece for the Knicks. Both teams shot 46 percent and had 11 rebounds in the first.

-- McBride caught fire early in the second quarter, hitting three straight threes to keep the Knicks in it. The former second-round pick kept it going with another jumper to tie the game at 42-42. The back-and-forth contest continued through the second as Brunson tied it up with a three-pointer before Kawhi Leonard scored five quick points to push the Clippers lead to 56-51 at halftime.

Los Angeles outscored New York, 25-24, in the second quarter thanks to Leonard's 12 points, which gave him 21 at the break on 8-for-13 shooting. Brunson only had three points in the second, with McBride scoring 11 of his 14 points to pace the Knicks. Karl-Anthony Towns struggled with just six points on 2-for-8 shooting.

-- Offensive rebounds began to become an issue for the Knicks as Ivica Zubac dominated the glass with two offensive boards on LA's first possession of the third quarter, scoring inside after a miss. He then converted two more offensive rebounds into two more baskets to put the Clippers up four. 

New York fought back with Anunoby making his first three of the night at the 7:34 mark and Towns showed fight, attacking the rim by Zubac for a layup and making the foul shot to tie the game at 70-70. Guerschon Yabusele then gave the Knicks a 73-72 lead, their first since going up 23-22 in the first quarter.  The high-scoring third quarter finished with Tyler Kolek connecting with Bridges to put New York up 90-87, outscoring LA 39-31 in the frame. 

-- Towns completed a three-point play and then grabbed his third offensive rebound, finishing inside for five quick points to open the fourth quarter and force an early Clippers timeout. The former No. 1 pick stayed in a groove with another driving layup and Kolek hit Anunoby running out for a dunk to extend the lead to 105-92. Brunson continued to apply the pressure with two straight threes and then Yabusele scored five straight to make it a 15-point game and ignite the Garden crowd.

-- All five starters scored in double figures. Despite early struggles, Towns finished with 20 points (6-for-18 from the field), 11 rebounds (four offensive), and a season-high seven assists. Anunoby also had 20 points, while McBride had 16 with four threes, and Bridges added 15 points, nine boards, and five assists. The team had 32 assists and outrebounded LA 48-40. Leonard finished with 25 points after a cold second half, Harden ended with 23 and Zubac had 22 points.

Brunson scored 11 points in the third quarter to swing the game New York's way, and finished with a game-high 26 points on 9-for-12 shooting. He also had seven assists and three rebounds over 33 minutes.
