The Knicks win the sixth game of the last seven

Sixth victory in the last seven for the Knicks, who are resisting a furious comeback from Washington — capable of returning from -11 to -3 in the last two minutes of the game, before having to give up in the final. New York dominates in the area (52-28) and posts a 14-0 run at the start of the fourth quarter to definitively take control of the game, inflicting on Washington the fourth defeat in the last five after holding it to 39% shooting.

The protagonist at the Knicks is still Jalen Brunson, who in addition to scoring 34 points also makes the decisive free throws in the last 30 seconds to always keep two possessions ahead of his opponents. “He took control of the game, this year he deserves the All-Star Game” Kyle Kuzma said of him, unable like all his teammates to contain the New York point guard. Julius Randle dips 23 with 16 rebounds and Immanuel Quickley adds 18 off the bench as New York moves back to sixth in the East.
