No 55-point game for Jalen Brunson but it was the same winning result for the New York Knicks. 

Josh Hart dropped his third triple-double of the season and the streaking Knicks ended 2024 with a 126-106 romp of the Washington Wizards for their eighth straight win. 

Hart finished with 23 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists for his second trip-dub of this month as Karl-Anthony Towns added a strong 32-point, 13-rebound double-double.

Brunson added 18 points just two days removed from exploding his third-career 50-point game in a close 136-132 Knicks dub over Washington. 

New York improved to 23-10 while Washington lost back-to-back games and slid to a second league-worst 5-25. 

Jonas Valanciunas paced the Wizards with 22 points off the bench while Alexandre Sarr and Malcolm Brogdon each scored 18 markers.
