Knicks' Brandon Jennings: Hands out seven dimes in 34 minutes Wednesday

Jennings managed 12 points (5-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt), seven assists, two rebounds, and two steals in 34 minutes during the Knicks' 106-104 win against the Timberwolves on Wednesday.

Jennings committed four turnovers and didn't shoot the ball well from the field on Wednesday. Nevertheless, he ended up receiving a season-high 34 minutes and 10 more than starting point guard Derrick Rose, who struggled (11 points on five-of-12 from the field, two assists, two turnovers, one steal) to get anything going on offense and also had four fouls. Rose has been solid lately, but it's evident that Knicks' coach Jeff Hornacek is not afraid to ride the hotter hand in his backcourt. Furthermore, Rose has proven to be injury-prone during his career, so Jennings is likely one of the better handcuff options worth stashing on your bench.
