The New York Knicks overcame a strong start and a 25-point lead to secure a 122-103 victory over the struggling Washington Wizards. Despite a rally led by Marcus Smart, who scored 17 points, the Wizards could not capitalize on their comeback. Highlights for the Knicks included a 31-point double-double from Karl-Anthony Towns, 27 points from Mikal Bridges, and Tyler Kolek's career-high eight assists. The victory was marked by sharp ball movement and solid defense, though New York's second-half performance raised concerns.
For New York, Karl-Anthony Towns finished with a 31-point, 11-board double-double; Bridges scored 27 points-nearly all of them in the second quarter; OG Anunoby collected 23 points on 8-of-12 shooting; Josh Hart grabbed 12 rebounds and nine points; and Payne recorded 13 points, seven assists, and just one turnover.
Marcus Smart is now Kevin Durant lol. For a few minutes there, he sure seemed like it. The vet scored 17 points off the bench and was the fireplug behind Washington's second-half rally.
