"Behind Mikal Bridges' 25 points and five steals, New York drubbed the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, who entered the weekend matinee in the Big Apple on an 11-game winning streak. Obviously, this is one of the better teams in the league, but you use every game as a benchmark once the All-Star break passes."
"In as complete and balanced an attack as seen all season, Jalen Brunson added 24 with seven assists, Karl Anthony Towns posted 12 points and 14 rebounds, and Josh Hart had 10 points, 10 boards, and seven helpers of his own. Off the bench, rookie forward Mohamed Diawara was solid for a second straight game, recording 14 points on four 3-pointers."
