The New York Knicks completed yet another remarkable comeback on Tuesday, Nov. 7. Who stepped up during the 118-113 win over the Charlotte Hornets?

The New York Knicks may not be back yet, but Madison Square Garden most certainly is. For the second time in as many games, the fans blew the roof off of The Mecca during a riveting comeback in a rivalry game.

After three quarters of maddeningly poor defense, the Knicks locked in and stormed back for a 118-113 victory over the Charlotte Hornets.

118. 27. 113. 170. Final

Through 10 games, the Knicks are now 6-4.

Since the 2015-16 NBA regular season, the Knicks and Hornets have consistent played down to the wire. This time out, Charlotte appeared to have the victory gift-wrapped via New York’s inability to play any defense whatsoever.

The Hornets not only had an 11-point lead entering the fourth quarter, but held a nine-point lead with 5:20 remaining in regulation.

With their backs against the wall, the Knicks took over during the final six minutes of the game. It held Charlotte to 19 points in the fourth quarter overall, including a mere four points during the final 5:34 of the fourth.

The question is: Who stepped up for the New York Knicks during the exhilarating 118-113 victory over the Charlotte Hornets?
