The New York Knicks capped off a successful weekend with another win over the Brooklyn Nets.
Perhaps no one in the Empire State will be more disappointed to see the weekend end than the New York Knicks.
The Knicks capped off a working weekend in style on Sunday, earning a 114-104 decision over the rival Brooklyn Nets. New York not only moved back above .500 but it also secured the team's first case of consecutive win since Oct. 28-Nov. 1. The Knicks have also won eight in a row over their crosstown rivals, putting up such a streak in the last matchip for the first time since 1990-91.
Back in action after a oame absence due to a knee injury, Karl-Anthony Towns led the Knicks with 26 points and 15 rebounds. It proved to be a painful resumption for Towns, who dealt with apparent back issues after falling during a drive in the second half. OG Anunoby was right behind him with another sterling offensive effort, scoring 24 points on 9-of-17 from the field.
Anunoby, Hart, Mikal Bridges, and Cameron Payne each hit a trio of triples en route to the win, as four of the Knicks' five starters scored at least 20. The exception, Jalen Brunson, was 3-of-14 from the field but nonetheless mustered a double-double with 12 points and 10 assists. The Knicks immediately return to action on Monday when a four-game homestand ends with a visit from the Washington Wizards .
