BRANDON Knight is in the midst of a good season for the rebuilding Milwaukee Bucks.

But when the time came to deliver victory for his team yesterday against the Brooklyn Nets, he blew it horribly - before scoring redemption.

With just seconds remaining in the first period of overtime with the scores locked 105-105, Knight made a steal and streaked down the court for the simplest of lay-ups.

But he somehow blew it, sending his bench into meltdown.

Yet amazingly, Knight shook it off in tremendous fashion.

He made the tying three-pointer in the second period of overtime, then made the clinching free throws to seal a 122-118 victory in the third OT period. Knight finished the game with 18 points.

Brandon Knight clashes with Kevin Garnett.

Knight has already copped a few tough moments in his NBA career. He was on the wrong end of DeAndre Jordan’s dunk of the year in March 2013, and had his ankles broken by Kyrie Irving in the Rising Stars Challenge at All Star Weekend a month earlier.
