Jalen Brunson delivered a season-best 55-point masterpiece, including nine points in overtime, to lead the New York Knicks to a hard-fought 136-132 victory over the Washington Wizards.

 


 

The win extended the Knicks’ streak to seven games, solidifying their hold on the no. 3 spot in the Eastern Conference with a 22-10 record.

Karl-Anthony Towns provided crucial support with 30 points and 14 rebounds, as the Knicks outlasted a resilient Wizards squad that saw seven players score in double figures.

Justin Champagnie led Washington with a career-high 31 points, but the Wizards, now 5-24, remain at the bottom of the East standings.
