Jalen Brunson scored nine of his season-high 55 points in overtime and Karl-Anthony Towns had 30 points and 14 rebounds as the New York Knicks extended their season-best winning streak to seven games in a 136-132 win over the Washington Wizards on Saturday night.

Another Jalen Brunson masterclass helped the New York Knicks avoid a disaster against the lowly Washington Wizards over the weekend, as the captain's latest showcase was the key behind a 136-132 victory at Capital One Arena in the nation's capital.
