New York Knicks 109, Charlotte Hornets 97
After trailing 66-60 at halftime, the Knicks turned things around in the second half and the third quarter specifically. They held the Hornets to just 31 points in the second half as the Knicks outscored them 31-16 powered by Barrett's 18 in the period.
This is the Knicks' seventh straight victory - the best active win streak in the league.
RJ Barrett is locked in.

Kyrie Irving scores 24 of his 32 in the second half as the shorthanded Nets, without Kevin Durant and James Harden, handed the Pelicans a tough loss - virtually eliminating them from the play-in contention in the West.
